Is this a squash or a Gord

[hollowa1]

This plant is one plant in our herb bed.* It is taking over the yard.* This very large yellow fruit is heavy.* What is it???

It looks like a squash but without a better pic of the fruit, it's hard to tell.* Can you take a picture of the friut?

You might also want to build a trellis for it and use something like pantyhose to hold up the fruit.

My leaf looks different, not toothed and it* say this is a bush.* My is taking over everything including the house and yard.* It may be related.* I my sending a picture of the yard.* The fruit is giant over 20 inch around after just a few days.* Thanks for your help.

I wonder if it could be Cucurbita pepo aka vegetable spaghetti squash.* It's a winter squash so I didn't think of it.* If it's as large as you say, that would make sense as these grow to about 2 or 3 pounds.* Some varieties are bush and some are vines that get very large.
