First picture sure looks like pumpkin. The others I can't help with. I agree with the web source you found -- probably seeds from a hybrid that are now reverting to one of the original parents. What did you throw out last Winter?

Yes, I'm convinced that is a pumpkin. What I threw out there to compost? Everything.rberq wrote:First picture sure looks like pumpkin. The others I can't help with.

The first one is about a foot in diameter already but I don't think it will get as big as those. If you scroll down the first link, check out the brain molds.Wood'nCoal wrote:How big do you think they will get?
