'Pumpkin' gourd

sylky00
15 years ago

Hi! Can anyone tell me what type of gourd resembles a pumpkin? I've seen it twice in grocery produce sections, but never see one like it in seed catalogs. I would like to grow it next year. It looks closest to the egg gourds, but it has ribs,which the other egg-shaped ones I've seen don't have.Thanks for any help. I'm trying to post a photo, but am having problems.
