Looks like a squash. You can eat the blossoms, which is counterproductive.

In our garden by my front steps a vine started and I didn't know what it was, but now it looks like a watermelon. Musta self-seeded when the kids were sitting on the front steps having a watermelon seed spitting contest, is my guess.

I'm afraid our growing season isn't going to be long enough for us to have *fruit* of any size.

Gardening is *like a box of chocolates....*

Got another good one: Take the flowers buds off squash or pumpkins before they open. Make a slit with sharp knife and add some cream cheese and jalapeno pepper. Dredge in egg/milk mixture, shake in seasoned flour and deep fry. Man ... that is some great eating!
