Description

Pumpkins are usually characterized by a hard orange rind with distinctive grooves. Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelons, and zucchini.
Pumpkins can range in size from less than one pound to more than 1,000 pounds. Miniature-sized pumpkins are typically used for decorative purposes. The five to ten pound pumpkins are most often used for making pies. Pumpkins in the 10 to 25-pound range are primarily used for jack-o-lanterns.
There are many varieties of gourds, ranging in size and shape from the small, green-and-tan striped oval kind to the large birdhouse gourds with their swan-like necks and fat bowls and others looking like weird creations of science. They all share a similar growth habit—sprawling vines with large leaves and the tendency to take over a garden plot if permitted.
Ornamental gourds are beautiful in their own unique lumpy-bumpy way, and nothing says fall like a beautiful bumper crop in the garden. In fact, they are so beautiful that many gardeners grow them purely as a decorative crop, just to spice up their plots in the fall, and add a touch of color to autumn holiday table settings and arrangements.
