I had to laugh! I have the same thing going on with my patch. Thought all the pumpkins grew the same...green to dark green then orange. I have some yellow ones about the size of a softball and some green ones that look like watermelons. I was worried about the yellow ones..someone told me I got a squash. hopefully they will all turn in the end. Let me know if you have some insight into the color thing.
