Re: mine are green


Dear Gail and Frank
	Sounds like your problem could be a simple old fashioned everyday garden
variety of squash rape, which goes back to the early part of July.  Maybe
you didn't give enough thought to the over-sexed young things. The old
saying "A chastity belt in time saves nine."
	The other problem I see is where you live.  Lead, South Dakota.  Now lead
is a powerful chemical symbol Pb. The lead could probably have a definite
affect on pumpkin color. You have two alternatives, if this proves to be
the case.  1) Move or 2) have the city council change the name of your
town.
	I do hope these highly scientific approaches have been of some help. 
Please let me know what your decisions are.
	Better luck next year, 
Jack
