            | Little Ketchup | Grittyville, WA | Judging is subjective which could lead to hurt feelings.  Could there just be a set length to width ratio in order to call something a pumpkin?  Like... the diameter must exceed the length? | 3/9/2021 10:20:30 PM |  
            | Little Ketchup | Grittyville, WA | I meant circumference.  This might be a good rule of thumb. | 3/9/2021 10:22:50 PM |

            | 719.5 Pounder | North Of The Border | Some field kind are long, and others are short. Examples are the 205 Wursten as extremely wide, and the 188.5 Treece is really long. | 3/10/2021 3:28:56 PM |  
            | Dutch Brad | Netherlands | That won't help as a marrow/fp cross can take on the shape of the marrow and the colour of an fp. I have seen very long, thin orange marrow/fp crosses at a weigh-off. Regular marrows are 150%-170% longer than they are wide (EE/SS). But I have grown one or two which were 210% longer than wide and I know of some that were 123%.
