My grandson has a Cramer 824 that is also putting out GREEN babies I was
hoping it might change color but like you the main vine is also very green.
My problem is how to tell my Grandson of 6 years old that he will have a
green pumpkin he was hoping to hold onto the NH junior title which he won
last year with his 149 lb. pumpkin . Ill watch the side vines to see if they
are yellow like yours thanks for a little hope for him.
Good luck all
Joe H.
