The leaves have fallen from the trees, there is a distinct nip in the air, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. These altogether mean pumpkin time at our house. You might use this versatile vegetable to make a jack-o-lantern, or only as a pumpkin pie. But there are as many sides to this delicious vegetable as there are varieties. Pumpkins are so easy to grow and so generous with their production.
