  Difficult to tell at this stage Ryan but as the fruit gets larger the shape and colouring should help us to ID it.  Keep us updated.

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  I was actually told it was a pumpkin but the fruit isn't round? That's my only problem

  hi looks just like some of mine and they are pumpkins which are now becoming prolific. planted giant atlantic pumpkins this year however it is a trial and i have not pinched out any leaves they grow amazingly quick.

  i have three which are at least 15ft long with small fruits like yours branching off so might get some?

  i water them most days as they are greedie feeders and i have so much comfrey feed weekly which is unbelievable as a feed.

  let us know how they do happy gardening
