I need help identifying a squash / gourd that has grown in our yard . I thought I was planting butternut but my identifier says 鈥 Field Pumpkin鈥. It looks nothing like a regular pumpkin - it鈥檚 skin is speckled cream flecs with green dark stripes . It鈥檚 oblong and growing very large . It鈥檚 skin is very thick . When I tried to eat smaller it had the effect of early persimmon in the mouth . What type of pumpkin is this ? Is it edible ?
