Looks like the round courgettes I got from Seeds of Italy!  They are supposed to be picked at tennis ball size, but my last 2 were more grapefruit sized!!!   :D :D

What is very big? Nothing to judge it against to get scale.
Looks a lot like Mrs Digger's pumpkins.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
