Well, acorn squash it is then! Thanks all. I have two more of the same plant besides that one. I like acorn squash, so I guess it is cool to learn how to grow them but I'm kinda disappointed I won't be up to my ears in yellow squash like I thought I would be. :-/ You only harvest them once in September, right? I just leave them on the vine as is until then?

Thank you very much for your response horster. Unfortunately what I have is not the same thing you're looing for. What I have produce pink to purple and white flowers, (2 colors on one flower,) and have oval leaflets not leaves. My picture were pretty bad I have to admit. But anyway, spent another evening of research, since I'm not short of samples (LOL,) I believe I found it. It is lespedeza ( aka Japanese clover.) What do you guys think? I'm a complete novice in lawn care and gardening. Once I identified it it seems to be a very common known plant. I just wonder why it's not in most "common weed lists" on the internet.

Thanks, I had a feeling someone would say that, lol. I really don't care about the names myself, it's just driving me insane how people ask "what kind of tomatoes are you growing" and I have to say I don't know, lol..I feel like an idiot. First tomato was ready earlier than I thought and when I touched it before, it came right off in my hand. My daughter ate it and said it was sweet and very good. That makes it all worth it. I don't even like tomatoes, lol. Thanks Dave! Daniella

Nice display cabinet ... probably 1910s to 1930s French inspired. Price? It depends on your area. Search Craigslist for vintage or antique display case and see what you find. A good place to try to sell it would be to an antiques dealer, as a display case.
