I'm guessing some sort of squash too. It certainly is big. I can't wait to see what it turns out to be. My mystery plants are usually weeds, but yours looks very promising.
definitely a pumpkin - especially if it has large orange flowers with 5 petals. :)
some of the flowers will have the fruit under it - those are the female flowers. others won't have them - those are male flowers. you (or bees / insects if you're lucky) have to pollinate the female flowers with the male flowers (get a bit of the powder on a q-tip & put it on the females) in order for the pumpkins to grow. :)
my dad always planted pumpkins in his large garden. :)
See the very huge, dark green leaves?
And here is the start of a fruit.
It looks like a summer squash plant, or at least in the squash family. Nice healthy looking plant.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a squash or pumpkin - did you put any seeds in the compost pile?

Yes, I think it's a squash, not a melon.

ReplyDeleteI love plants that just pop out of the compost pile.
