extraordinary volunteer squash


this is the volunteer squash that started to grow from my old compost pile. A few weeks ago, the vines would grow a foot or more during the day while I was at work. now the squash grow seemingly by an inch in diameter during the day. this one is 8" diameter and just started growing last week. the leaves are 2' across
