Any botanists out there ?

[Themselves]

This has grown in my garden. It came out of nowhere as we didn’t plant anything. No idea what it is. The keys are in the picture to give an indication of size.

gunnera manicata maybe?

Apparently you can get an app on your phone which, when pointed at the plant, tells you what it is.

Looks like something from the marrow/courgette family

Any flowers? usually yellow

Might be a squash

 

[Swozer]

Looks like butternut squash, Curcubita moschata. Prob sown by bird droppings (or rat?) from discarded squash.
On android phone camera, you can use Google Lens (in the photo app) to identify anything.

Pumpkin seeds germinate in my compost heap because I throw my veggie waste in there, so if I dig my compost into the garden they take off whether I want them or not. In fact, this afternoon I will be making gallons of pumpkin soup from my self sown crop. Great, cheap winter fodder.

To me it looks like some type of ornamental Gourd. Once it flowers, try and expose the fruit that forms to the sun (snip of shading leaves). The fruit, once ripe look lovely in a fruit bowl. You see them for sale in Lidls around Halloween.
