This is a 'Long Tom' squash. It is an Australian squash, that is as far as I know, not grown at all in this country. My good friend Dale was able to get me a few seeds to get me started with these. Dale said that these are/were primarily grown as an animal stock feed. It resembles a blue banana squash. I grew these about 7 or 8 years ago and never got the seeds out. I remember them being quite a bit bigger for me that year, maybe in the 100 pound range. I have plenty of these squash and I need to get them out of the field before the deer get to them. I will have lots of seed if anyone is interested in growing them. Let me know. I will post some more pictures.
