Glad to see that October is National Pumpkin Month, otherwise I might have gone on a campaign to get the month set aside as such. After all they’re everywhere and in so many good things to eat. Flowers, seeds, and the flesh of the fruit itself, so nutritious. As well as, soon to be sitting on innumerable doorsteps, great for decorating.

The Pumpkin plant is native to Central America and Mexico. The oldest example of orange field pumpkin seeds were found in Oaxaca, Mexico, which have been dated to be 8,000 to 10,000 years old.

October, the month to go to the pumpkin patch to pick out the favorites of all the pumpkins. Such anticipation for that exciting excursion!
