Re: Orange pumpkins
Pumpkins are Orange not red. It's amazing what you can do with
a little bleach and RED DYE #3 - make a green squash look like
a pumpkin with a bad sunburn.
But it was red alright - redder than the zits I used to get in
high school. Don't know what the judges were thinking but I
saw them all giggling and pointing at it. I thought that they
were gonna rule it a tomato.
This must have been some kind of mistake.....
