. From my limited exposure of viewing fruit over the last 3 yrs, it has appeared to me that the squash are easily identifiable, even if they have started to cantaloupe and get some tan shades on the webbing.
 


Yup Scott...thats pretty much my opinion also. Having grown Stellpflug squash,welty squash (again,mostly stellpflug), Lyons squash , Dill squash,Gancarz squash and  my favorite-the Rockwell squash I agree that you can pretty much tell right off that its a squash. I've grown a couple of squmpkins and they were most definitely pumpkins. Ive grown pumpkins that were the brightest orange imaginable. i think a large part of the problem lies in that there are a large number of growers that haven't seen a real squash yet. Perhaps if the prize monies were a bit more "interesting" the real squash in the patch would go to the contest instead of a direct line to the front yard display..............................G
