I bought some orange pumpkins last year to make wine and i saved a few pips to sow this year. This afternoon i was checking my pumpkins and one of them is now sporting a green pumpkin, i thought it would have been orange after the parent is this normal ?
Pumpkins are very promiscuous and will be fertilised by any other pumpkin so that seeds do not always come out the same as the parent - can be very interesting... Good luck, you never know it might be delicious.
Most of the hardstem pumpkins like Connecticut field,Howden Biggie, sugar pumpkins etc start out green and turn orange when ripe.
