And all the crap sports I've had to listen to from you? Puh-lease! nossy Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 12:28:55 AM
Squash is a larger term that covers quite a few vegetables.</pedantic>

Ew! Plant nerdiness!

:P

I thought it was a seperate type, with butternut squash being one type of squash and other similar squashes existing but seperate from courgettes. That would be much more sensible - go make them change the naming system:|

They are different, but it's the same family of plant. Same viney growth, same style of flower. Sheesh, learn something, wouldya?!
