Pumpkins (Cucurbita maxima)

          Our pumpkins are of whatever variety our caretaker wants to plant.  He has grown several very large ones, and are very picturesque when on display on our porch.  They have figured into several of our events as prizes and once, in a very memorable event he called the Pumpkin Smash!

Pumpkin is a plant of the genus [Cucurbita], and the family [Cucurbitaceae] (which also includes gourds).[1] It can refer to either species Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita mixta, and sometimes to a specific variety of either the species Cucurbita maxima or Cucurbita moschata
