Pumpkins ...... growing fun.

Have you got your pumpkins planted for Halloween?

The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon (πέπων), which is Greek for “large melon", something round and large.The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word that is used today, "pumpkin".

Pumpkins are grown all around the world for a variety of reasons ranging from agricultural purposes (such as animal feed) to commercial and ornamental sales.

 Of the seven continents, only Antarctica is unable to produce pumpkins; the biggest international producers of pumpkins include the United States, Canada, Mexico, India, and China.

The traditional American pumpkin used for jack-o-lanterns is the Connecticut Field variety.

Rick's Picks Plants has pumpkins plants on board "The Big Plant Van".
