Ok, so it looks like one of the butternut plants we bought might actually be a butternut.

Or at least it was a butternut plant, but I’m a bit suspicious that the fruit looks a bit green and stripy so far. In fact, it’s starting to remind me more than just a little bit of the pumpkin that definitely isn’t butternut shaped growing in the same plot… (After seeing something at the veg stall that looks close to what we’ve got we suspect it’s a “Buttercup” pumpkin)

Hmmm.

I suspect some form of cross-pollination has possibly occurred. I guess we’ll find out once it grows and ripens a bit. You never know, we might have struck gold with a never before seen veg.

I suspect not, however.

At least the zucchinis are looking like zucchinis! (Just hope they taste like them too…)
