Re: Odd Pumpkin Shape and Color
pc,
The trouble with altantic giants is they can produce squash or some very
ugly looking pumpkins. I try to grow the red/orange and get a high % that way.
This November look for a post for FREE SEEDS from me and I will send you
some, just remind me that you want the red/orange ones. If you want to look at
my pumpkins from past years...I've gotten better as the years have gone on.
(I've get 2005 up there soon...already have a 300lber going! woohoo! :-)

Hello,
I'm a first time pumpkin grower. I purchased a package of "Dill's Giant
Atlantic" seeds and have grown a pretty big vine with 3, one week-old
pumpkins.
However, they don't look anything like the pumpkins I'm use to seeing.
Instead of being round and orange, they are long and light-green. They look
like giant "Butternut Squash.
Is this how "baby" Giant Atlantics look, or am I wasting my time cultivating
squash?
p.c.
