Re: Return to Genetic ramblings

Yeah, I know that they were splitting hairs as far
as a determination is concerned, that's
why I called them both pale. But in the pictures I've
seen, I was surprized in the amount of difference in
color among two fruit on the same plant. All the plants
that I've grown, all the fruits on a plant are nearly
identical in color.

There could be some other error, a picture could be
wrongly attributed, or in the digital world "white
balance" in photography is really a problem... but
what I saw was kind of puzzling in the difference in
color. Maybe someone who was at Canby in 2001 could
comment.

First off...lets get the facts straight....the Mombert "squash" was not a
full green/blue from day 30 squash but a late season greener from what I
understand. Secondly, due to the wishy-washy determinations of what we call
squash and pumpkin you cannot go by the common terminaology or classification
as found in contest records or AGGC. The only difference between the first
fruit on the MOmbert plant and the second fruit was the % of
green...................G
