It all depends on who is judging. There is no standard and
there should be through the entire scheme of things. Very
political.

Sorry folks.. I had to chime in. I had long talk with
quite a few
growers yesterday, and it had to do with squash being
squash, period.
After watching the numerous fruit come in, it was VERY
CLEAR that there
were only 3 squash. A squash is, and always will be
completely green or
bluish green. If you looked at several fruit that
had some orange, you
can easily tell it was a pumpkin, but has some late
season turning of
color to green.
The determining
factors of 75/25 orange to green is a farce, it is just
as Glenn says,
and I hate to agree with him.. haahaa.. Lets get together
with the GPC
people in a chat some night, Hugh Wiberg and gang, and get
this
straightened out very soon. I know this list has had numerous talks
on
this subject, and I dont really want to drag it all out, but if it
looks
like is was/or is a pumpkin with some greening going on, it is a
pumpkin.. PERIOD... If at first glance on the fruit you say that
could
possibly be a squash but you arent sure, then it is definitely a
pumpkin.. Because if you have ever seen a true squash, they stick out
like a sore thumb...
Yesterday John Michael
Werking, Len Knauss and one other person had
squash, easily
identifiable. My conversation with Tony CIliberto on this
topic was just
as I have described above... Pumpkin is pumpkin, and
squash is a
squash.. anything that could possibly be a pumpkin, is a
pumpkin..
period..
