Subject: What?
Ok I usually hang around and read
posts for help being that I am only a second year grower. But lately all I
here is Pumpkin this Squash that and so on. My question is I thought they were
all Cucurbits? This weigh off thing has become racial; I am not
prejudice of a green pumpkin and I think if a grower grows a Cucurbit 1000
pounds or what ever it should be judged a pumpkin. I don’t understand why
there are two categories. Wouldn’t it be simpler just to weigh them all as
pumpkins? Is it that shameful to be beat out by a green pumpkin? I wish we
could get back the growing info
