Pumpkins are a widely used plant around the world. This will tell you tips on planting and harvesting, to things you can make with pumpkin etc.

Appearance

Pumpkins don’t always look same. Pumpkins can vary in colours such as yellow, white, green or red but usually orange. They contain pulp and seeds, they also have very hard, thick shells.

Planting/Harvesting

Idealy you should plant your pumpkin in spring 4-6 weeks before the frost date. Then Harvest your pumpkin at the end of May or at the start September.

Uses

There are all sorts of things you can do with pumpkins like pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds (roasted), pumpkin chips, roasted pumpkin and my favourite pumpkin soup. Did you know that pumpkins are recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites. Pumpkins are oftenly used as lanterns most likely at halloween time with scary faces carved into them.

Pumpkins are a fascinating plant. I never knew that pumpkins had so many uses, did you?
