The word pumpkin comes from the Greek pepon for a large melon. The English named it pumpion or pompion, a term which dates back to 1547.
Cultivated Pumpkins are believed to have originated in Central America and seeds from related plants found in Mexico date back to 5500 B.C. When the first settlers landed in the US, they found Native American Indians using pumpkin as a staple in their diets. It soon became a staple in the settlers' diets, too and the seeds were brought back to Europe, where pumpkins soon became popular.

I had never seen warty pumpkins, before. Some grow to have warts, naturally (Gargoyle, Knucklehead, Goosebumps); others are infected either by viruses or bugs, and the deformities are bumps. I've read that you can tell because naturally formed warts are on top of the surface, while the bumps look like they are under the pumpkin's shell – however, I haven't seen enough examples to detect the difference.
Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like a delicious pumpkin' pile. A little vanilla ice cream on the side, and Viola, Bob's yer uncle.
I can see the Pumpkin Captain demanding an explanation why they were picked and now sit here to await their time until they are sent to the compost.
I hope a few of them are chosen this week to make a pie.
I will make sure to save one of them today.
Orange pumpkins harvested at Lyman's Orchard are displayed for sale outside of Lyman's Apple Barrel in Middlefield Connecticut. The combination of the orange of the fruit and the green of the lawn, the lines, and the strong lights and shadows caught my eye and felt very autumnal.
Obviously, these are pumpkin brothers not ORANGES! Today is Orange day, found this shot from archive and decide to post it to Color My World Daily group.
Personally, I don't really like orange color stuff, other than the fruit - orange : ) I don't have any orange color attire, don't like eating pumpkin, dislike orange ice cream or orange cake : )
How about you?
