This wonderful squash originates from the seaside town of Chioggia near Venice. The Italians use it for many local dishes, including a rather tasty gnocchi.

We grew two plants in a container of manure next to the compost bin and they have run riot. We have been cutting their leading tips back to encourage the plants energy into the fruits and have been rewarded by three monsters..
The one shown here was hanging precariously from the wire fence, so I decided to remove it for it's own safety !
