I always wonder if “squashes” is the correct terminoligy for this type of vegetable? There are pumpkins in there too, plus some marrows, and some weird swan-like things that I don’t know what they are, but I guess they are all types of squash? Please correct me if I am wrong about this important subject. 🙂
The flash fired on my first attempt at photographing this scene so I took a second picture. The version with flash looks much better though.

I’ve always heard the word gourd used to describe this class of vegetables.

I looked it up online but the whole subject seems to be a bit of a muddy area without much concensus and, to make it more confusing, different places use different words for the same thing! I think I might start using the term “squashygourdkin” as a catch-all. 😀
