    Courgette balls?

    I've got a packet knocking around somewhere, and as it's not something I normally sow, it might have been a freebie.

    Or are they grown from saved seeds and have crossed with another squash?

    From some of these & corgettes.

    Might give one a go tomorow, see if they're edible.

    Don't know of any poisonous cucurbits, but if I suddenly stop posting.....

      Looks like it could be a cross between a courgette and a squash.
      But what would you call it? A quash? A squorgette?
      Or if it really is half lobster, half courgette would that make it a clawgette? :D

        It's a globe courgette. Courgettes don't have balls as they are all female. :heehee:
