Re: Squash or Melon or what?

I think you have a Courgette Tronboncino. A tall twining courgette, with large open yellow flowers and long, slightly curved fruit. Available at most seed merchants but I get mine from Seeds of Italy. I grow mine in a polytunnel and it will reach 18-20 ft in length/height and produce 15-20 long fruits.
