Thread: Green Pumpkins!

Tweet

Okay I'm sure that this has happened to someone else out there. I think that my zucchinis cross-pollinated with my pumpkins and my brother, who's planted pumpkins before, says that they will most likely stay the same dark green color that they are now. I don't think that will be very tasty, so I think we'll have to skip homemade soup, and pie this year for the holidays . On the upside, this means that we'll have even more jack-o-lantern and Halloween decor! So what do you do with green pumpkins? Any ideas? I only have 3 plants but they seem to have around 10 fruits already, so I'm expecting around 20!

Are these pumpkins ready to be picked? The reason I ask is because most pumpkins start out green and the sun turns them orange. I have lots of green pumpkins right now. In about a month they will all be orange.

We had a green pumpkin one year that was kind of square-ish, so I carved a Frankenstein's Monster. The shape may tell you what it wants to be!

Our six pumpkins are all green too. One of them is starting to turn orange. My dad said you've got watermelons!! I said no dad they start out green and turn orange. lol
