Scott,
I followed up on the message because I too have a plant producing fruit of
that shape, and as you said, as it grows, it becomes pear like, and I
wondered if perhaps one seed was predisposed to that shape (apparently not).
The first message was from Judy,a "newbie"(her term not mine) followed by a
little joke from Pumpkin master(don't anyone get upset now) and the topic
seems to be holding folks attention. The discussion continues.............
