RE: what causes the green?
I don't know what type seed they grew it was some that my friend ordered
from an orchard supply store here no history and as for the green one it was
always green I have teased Charlie from day one that he was growing a squash
he really hates that (ha ha) sorry that is all I know about the seeds I know
I have about ten of the seeds they had left and I wont plant them as I
believe that rich fallowed to world class pumpkin book to the letter (except
the part about how important the seeds are obviously)

Dennis....the 319 lb pumpkin grower has obviously done something wrong to
get orange (just kidding!). This is common....what was the seed they both
grew?--this may shed some light on the "problem with the orange one". As you
likely have read here, color changes can continue past the growth stage of
these fruit....many continue to green or blue up near the end. Perhaps one
was more mature (older) than the other? Was it a squash color from the start
or a change?....we need more info !!!!...G
