They are the real gardeners but they let you take care of the pumpkins? LOL

Pretty sure you are right about what we call pumpkins and what you call pumpkins. Pumpkins here are orange and mostly round. They are really a kind of squash. There are a lot of different squashes but only the round orange ones are pumpkins! Their seeds make a nice snack when toasted, I haven't heard of regular squash seeds used for snacks!

When you have time I'd be interested to see what kinds of squashes you grow!
