Pumpkin too many seeds

As I was reading  thru the daily reader a blog i follow had a picture of a bag of Potatoes..The party usually writes the way i like to  read short and swift. And i can thank her for her encouragement… Potatoes DJ? spin that post!!  I have started to read the 400 words or more.  As I find my word count is increasing the more I post..   I’ve found out something about myself…..

I’m a blabber mouth..Yep so it my privilege to offer my p-nutty post.

Pumpkin  is a squash in vegetable family. It’s used for  food and recreation You may have seen squash in many colors and shades even Purple.  genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae.   It’s derived from the greek word pepon which mean large melons..f. what a set of pepons?

Pumpion is what our british forefathers called it.. which we now called   Pumpkin.  A pumpkin can be grown up to seventy-five pounds and then some.

They are grown  commercially for feed for livestock and for food also ornamental..

For me personally  it always was my mom’s pumpkin pie with a hint of vanilla ..(now my sisters recipe) And how i would try to talk somebody or sister into helping me bake and salt the seeds, like they did in elementary school statesides.   Which classes in america haven’t baked pumpkin seeds during the holidays.  This hardy squash grows on every continent except Antarctica. The United States of America grows and market the highest yields of the industrial nations..

Pie and Jack-o-lanterns, given to us by the P that Pumpkin begins with..
