For more than 5,000 years, pumpkins have been grown in North America, but are originally native to Mexico and Central America. However, today they are grown on six continents and typically weigh between 6 and 18 pounds.
Are you interested in growing your own pumpkins next year? If so, then be sure to save your pumpkin seeds to plant next spring or summer. Pumpkins take about 90 to 120 days to grow and should be planted by the middle of June at the absolute latest.
While pumpkins can be great for cooking and baking, everybody’s favorite part of pumpkin season is decorating pumpkins for Halloween. Dave Hax puts a whole new spin on carving pumpkins, and we can’t wait to try it out.
