Looks like an Apple Cucumber to me. Or could be a Butternut Pumpkin.

It looks like a common cucumber. Apple cucumbers are "apple" shaped and almost white in colour.

You are all correct,it is some type of green cucumber that the next door neighbour gave us as a seedlings.His didn't grow very well.The cucumbers have grown along the ground as well as climbing up the frame with the passion fruit vine & over the strawberries .

Yes, you missed a cucumber when you were picking! Funny story: year ago a friend gave me some white cucumbers (yes, they really were snow white on the outside) & I saved some seeds. Hubby thought he was planting butternut squash & planted several hills, gave some to a friend too. Well about half way thru the summer he brings in this HUGE white "squash" & says, "This thing still isn't turning yellow." I said "It smells like a cucumber!" Then I remember my white cukes! We laughed & laughed...as did the man we gave them seeds too...they both had those things all over the place, but they had gotten too big to eat!

Did any animal get to eat them or did they just become compost ?
