Dan,
You bring up a good point most the time there is no problem. Usally you
get predominant orange,cream,white.and now and again a little green mottle.
Some are quick to jump straight to the worst scenerio. Green monsters
everywhere ah no more orange ones. I think were in a period of transition
and pumpkins will eventually evolve out of the green
mottle.............brock
