“Warty” or Green Pumpkins are popular Heirloom Varieties showing up all across the USA!

It’s Fall… and my favorite time of year!! And I love Pumpkins… It’s amazing to see the variety of American Grown Heirloom Pumpkins that are flooding the market…

So Many different types… “warty” Pumpkins… “Cinderella pumpkins….”

White pumpkin… hollowed out and ready for an arrangement featuring white glads and brassica ….

Different shades and hues… Greens, Whites, variegated…

Green Cinderella Type Pumpkin with apples and fall leaves…

Pumpkins are so much more than Jack-o-lanterns… gosh when I was a kid… the thing that differentiated the pumpkins was size… but today… there’s so much more to choose from !
