Let's learn about pumpkins! Pumpkins are a type of squash that grows throughout the summer and ripens in the fall. They can be eaten or used for decoration.
Fun pumpkin facts:
Each pumpkin contains about 500 seeds.
Once they sprout, pumpkins take between 90 and 120 days to reach maturity.
Pumpkins come in many different colors, including orange, yellow, green, white and blue.
