Re: ?
With all due respect to Dill's Atlantic Giant, It is more appropriate to call
them generically "Giant Pumpkins" or "Giant Squash" or Giant Pumpkin and
Squash" as there are a lot of varieties and variation out there.
I could be wrong, but I don't think one variety covers green and orange and
biege. Or yellow versus green vines. Or tan versus biege seeds. Have you
noticed the differences in leaves? Then there are Prize Winner Hybrids and a
wide variety of crosses, as well as uncounted giant varieties that existed in
nature. There is just too many variables out there for us to call it one
variety. And, if we did, we would be excluding all others.
I like Rick's idea of one category. The only drawback is if we do, then we
will likely discourage the green varieties from being grown.
Happy Thanksgiving!
