We're growing these in the campus garden. The seeds were originally brought here from Cyprus. I obtained them from my grandfather, who has been growing them for years. They are MASSIVE. And its creeping vines have taken over a decent chunk of our half-acre plot.

The plants:



The fruit:









This one is so big I couldn't even fit it all in the frame:



And this one is stuck in the chain link fence but STILL growing:



Unfortunately, I'm probably not going to get viable seed from it because they have probably crossed with the many other squash varieties we are growing. Still an amazing sight though! I have seen the fruits get to be over four feet long.

I have tried them cooked ripe with salt and pepper, although there are many ways to prepare them. They are excellent. Similar to butternut squash, but the texture is less fibrous.
