Pumpkins are fruits. A pumpkin is a type of squash and is a member of the gourd family (Cucurbitacae), which also includes squash, cucumbers, gherkins, and melons.
The largest pumpkin ever grown was 1,337 pounds. It was grown by Charles Houghton of New Boston, New Hampshire.
Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. They take between 90 and 120 days to grow and are picked in October when they are bright orange in color. Their seeds can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year.

Halloween Superstitions
A burning a candle inside a jack-o-lantern on Halloween keeps evil spirits and demons at bay.
Always burn new candles on Halloween to ensure the best of luck. It is not a good idea to burn Halloween candles at any other time of the year. It may bring bad luck or strange things will happen to you, over which you will have no control.
Gazing into a flame of a candle on Halloween night will enable you to peer into the future.
It is believed that if a person lights a new orange colored candle at midnight on Halloween and lets it burn until sunrise, he or she will be the recipient of good luck
The old Celtic custom was to light great bonfires on Halloween, and after these had burned out to make a circle of the ashes of each fire. Within this circle, and near the circumference, each member of the various families that had helped to make a fire would place a pebble. If, on the next day, any stone was displaced, or had been damaged, it was considered to be an indication that the one to whom the stone belonged would die within twelve months.
Put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards on Halloween night to meet a witch.

Blues, I know your mom will be watching from heaven.
We're so happy for you and wish you much happiness in the future. You surely deserve it.
[For those of you who joined Wordcraft after 2004, Blues is Morgan's daughter. Morgan, along with Shufitz, Asa, and I, developed this site. However, it was really Morgan's inspiration that got us started.
I had nothing to do with actually establishing this site; I merely rode in on the powerful backdraught of the three founders. Still, I was here pretty much ab initio.
Asa, you were extremely supportive, posted a lot (which we needed with 4 members!), and were a great friend to all of us. So, yes, I'd say you were a major factor in our development. Put in on your resume!
