Name that gourd?

it looks like an overgrown zucchini, but seems to have e the firmer skin of a winter squash? It's huge, and there are a bunch more on the vine. I didn't harvest just in case it is a winter squash and should stay on the vine.
Thanks!

I cut it open. Seeds look like a pumpkin. Maybe spaghetti squash? Seems too big and not stringy

Looks like it might be a cross breed, is it a volunteer?

Yes, where did the seed come from? What squash did you grow last year?

It does look like a cross. Squash are notorious for that, it's hard to save pure seeds because they cross-pollinate so readily. Since squash have separate male and female flowers they depend on pollinators to carry pollen. Some of those pollinators can fly a mile with some different pollen. I once saved Delicata seeds, a winter squash, just to see what I would get. I got some strange squash the next year, not sure what it crossed with. It made a good tasting winter squash but did not save worth a darn. Here's what it looked like.



If you don't know what it is I'd try a young one as a summer squash just to see how it does. And after it matures I'd check it out as a winter squash, you never know.

Of course it could be a gourd and inedible.

It's not a volunteer, but I'm 90% sure I got it at a farmers market, so I guess it could be a cross. Cool, I didn't know they'd do that.

PS it's pretty watery and bland. Pretty sure that'll get saved for duck food

This is my squash if it helps.

It's still young though, lots of growing to do!
