Now that one really does look like a spaghetti squash 

[Muls]

Oh good , I was given the plant and don't have a clue !

[devonbarmygardener]

Definitely spaghetti squash - I've got 1 fruit that looks like that

It's the big 4kg greenies that are aliens!

No, I must be wrong, it can't be Spaghetti. This is a picture of mine.....

Your stripey squash looks like a Festival to me

Yeah, my spaghetti squash are green aliens too. The one that looks like this, like a real spaghetti squash that is, is one I was sure was butternut. Whatever everything is, I'm sure I've got more sorts of squash growing than I actually planted!

Right more help needed, pic number two turned orange and looked good so we ate it, it as the most watery squash i have ever tried with zero flavour at all. Was it eaten too soon. Not knowing what some are is proving a challenge

Pic 2- Acorn Squash
Ah, now that is interesting- I too had one of mine this week (Acorn-Cream of the crop) skin hard set by fingernail test but it didn't seem ripe inside, very pale and seeds not quite formed.  I roasted it, but it wasn't great.  I've got 6 more on the same plant all small football sized.  I think we're too keen BQ

Given some seeds for turks turban pumpkins. growing into very odd looking things. some of my plot neighbours had been looking at them and thought they were pumpkins that had gone very wrong 
They are not huge and I have no real clue what to do with them. Think will wait longer to see if they grow any bigger. Size of large grapefruit so far

I think Turks turban squash have very little flavour - some people just grow them for winter decorations 

[chillimummy]

what would you do with them for a winter decoration? have 4 so far but plenty of jack o lantern so dont need them to eat really
thanks 

[mumofstig]

Once fully ripe, I used one of mine for a doorstop, one year 

They look nice by the hearth, very harvest-festival cheerful

No.7 looks suspiciously like my giant courgette looking supposedly spaghetti squash

There they are in their 4kg/8.5lb each glory

I can now reveal that my mutant big green veg is...









... A SQUASH!!

Dunno what type though?
If it is a spaghetti squash (as it was supposed to be ) how do I cook it to find out?
Currently stuffing this one
