Re: easy to tell if it is squash...
I've had a couple of fruit with late season color change that I was hoping
would be called squash (and were) but to me they were pumpkins. They were
pumpkins all season and started to turn green a few weeks before the
weigh-off. I'm not so sure this has a whole lot to do with genetics as much
as environment. I have also had squash that were totally green and like
many others have said, there is no mistaking a squash. That seems to be the
best way of judging pumpkin/squash. If it's all green/blue, it's a squash.
If not, then it's a pumpkin. The guess work needs to be elliminated and
this seems like a simple way to do it.
