the guy who shoes my horses brought me 7 seeds that his mother sent him from w.v. the other day, he called them cucumber pumpkins...said they grew about 3 feet long and about 10" in diameter.color is green and the "shell" is so tough and brittle that you have to use a chopping ax to cut into it.. he says they make the best pies there are.. anybody got any idea what these cucumber pumpkins are?? i have never heard of them..
