Re: Green mottle Bad ?
Well, you would go open a can of worms.
Here are my thoughts.
If it is not orange, it is not a pumpkin. The whole magic of pumpkins has to
do with the fall colors, Halloween, and that whole culture. That is where the
attraction comes from, from the kid part in the adults, and from the kids.
If it is green, it is not a pumpkin, or at least, not healthy one. It could
be the heaviest hybrid cucubrit, but that is a different contest from one for
pumpkins. I am not particularly comfortable with white "pumpkins," giant or
casper the ghost variety.
Do we need a spectrometer to measure - color samples, judging decisions
required for a certain majority? That is the sticky part.
Will we get into rules' committees, various sites with different standards?
Civil war, pumpkin patch raids, spray painting the enemies crop - the
possibilities are many and evil.
Mike, what have you done!
