Several of the species in the taxo box are gourds, not squashes. Should we stop redirecting Cucurbita here so we can talk about both in that article? Usual usage is that squashes are the ones you eat and gourd are the ones you don't. Are these listed species edible gourds that we are listing as functional "squashes"?

Good point. I don't see why the taxonomic table could not be repeated on the gourd page for the appropriate species, with cross references on both pages. I've not worked with tables, so I'm a little reluctant to tackle it, though I suppose it's just a matter of copy, paste and delete the inappropriate ones. Am I right?

Why is squash categorized as "vegetable"? Isn't it a fruit? -- Timc 01:41, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Bringing up this subject again: "Fruit" is a botanical term, but can also be used as a culinary term. "Vegetable" is entirely a culinary term, with no botanical meaning. I see little justification in this article having been moved to "Squash (fruit)". It is not just the fruit that is used for culinary purposes, but tendrils, flowers and seeds as well. "Squash (vegetable)" was ok IMO, but if people don't like that, "Squash (plant)" would probably be best. I propose to move it there unless there is serious objection. -- WormRunner | Talk 21:23, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I would like to see pics of different types of squash, as I have one that I have no clue about. It looks like an elongated football and is a washed out orange in color. Can someone tell me what this squash is? Also what might be the best way to prepare!! Thanks
There needs to be several sub-articles on the cushaw, in order for Wikipedia to have a wider encyclopedic nature. I've noticed that the article on the hubbard squash is a stub with no picture, and the butternut squash article has no picture. There is no article on the cushaw. I think these pages three pages should all look and have the same quality like the Acorn Squash page does now. Then these pages need to be linked to this main page of squashes.
I agree that this should be split up into multiple articles and expanded on. However, there is little detail here as it is, and there are a lot of kinds of squash out there. Jupiterjones 05:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
C. maxima has distinctive seeds and pedicel, but how can the other two main squash species be identified? No one ever seems to address this! 141.216.1.4 03:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Squash (fruit) → Squash (plant)
Suggest renaming from botanically correct, but cullinarilly confusing term to more general one. Also note that squash is used to refer to the plant as a whole as well as the fruit, though the latter is most commonly consumed. Eluchil404 13:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I placed a picture today with a honeybee pollinating a squash flower. It went missing a few hours later... can anyone tell me why? Nogatonga 03:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
In dutch there is no seperate word for squash it seems, referring to the fact that both the english squash page is translated to the dutch 'pompoen' page as well as the english pumpkin page.
A squash is not the same as a pumpkin, but is it so in dutch..? Jackjoker 17:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
All that said, I would believe that in Dutch there are not two terms for what English speakers would term pumpkins and other squashes. 68.97.8.215 01:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Vegetable marrow redirects here - but that use is hardly mention. The name squash was pretty rare in the UK. Is what we called a marrow the same thing ? -- Beardo ( talk) 04:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Squashes are types of marrows, but I think the particular marrow you're looking for 'a big fat green thing' that should be under Zucchini. Hope this helps. Methusedalot ( talk) 00:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

This picture is named and captioned as autumn squash. However, it actually appears to be a collection of gourds. Should this picture be moved to Gourd, retained here and recaptioned, or am I missing something? -- Aurochs ( Talk | Block) 18:57, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
A large number of different kinds of (winter) squash can be obtained from a few species of plants. How does this happen? Are they different cultivars, or are they grown under different conditions? What directs the formation of gourds rather than squash? -- Aurochs ( Talk | Block) 18:57, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
