I am beginning to think I had a pack of seeds mismarked or something. I planted 2 rows of squash...a yellow crooked neck, and the second row I can't remember. I could have sworn it was zucchini. Gonna let them grow a bit longer, but I thought they look like gourds myself.Although looking at some pics on the net, it may in fact be butternuts
You got a ways to go before they are ready to harvest. They will change color and the stem will turn brown. Good eating and will last a long time after being picked with out refrigeration.
There is a possibility that it is a cushaw. They make good pies, just like a pumpkin. Here is what they look like as they are growing and what they look like when mature. Treefarmer

I have a recipe for some butternut squash soup that is now a family tradition at every Thanksgiving meal. Its amazing how that stuff will fill you up, if you are not careful it will ruin the whole meal by eating too much.
Updates...pic one is the hole created when I pulled the radishes. I put snap beans in the ground last weekend and they all came up. Not sure if pic 2 shows up well but these are the asparagus I planted, I put 6 bulbs in the ground, I have never grown asparagus or seen it in the ground but these are weird. At 1st it looked like one stalk was shooting out of the ground, then it turned into these thin flowering shoots. After doing some more research I understand this is going to be a 2 year project at a minimum before I can start regularly harvesting them, good to know they can last over 10 years in the same spot. Pic 3 is the sunflower again, it is approaching 10 ft...still waiting on the head to develop.
