Squash or Pumpkin?


What is this?

This is another of the plants from our 'pumpkin' seeds. Is this edible? I suppose I'll find out when I try to get a knife through the skin. It will be very disappointing to have nurtured all these supposed pumpkins and find that they are only ornamental! My allotment is for food - and the occasional flower.

The photo was taken at dusk and the true colour of the squash/gourd is more blue-green. If anyone can identify it I'd be grateful, especially if you know whether or not it can be eaten!

Have just spent an age Googling and still can't identify this squash.
