An early American colony rhyme, indicating how dependant the colonists were on pumpkin.  Many times they would eat it three meals a day.

I don't know why I love pumpkins.  Maybe it's because they are so low maintenance.  To me they are the symbol of a plentiful harvest and autumn.  Above is Youngest Daughter with the 3 big max pumpkins.

These are the heirloom variety Amish Sugar Pie that I got from Baker Creek Heirlooms.  They are small and sweet and used for making pies.

These are the Connecticut Field Variety that can be used both as a carving pumpkin or for eating.

These are the Big Max pumpkins and I'm told they arn't good for eating.
