What is the difference between a pumpkin and a squash?
the difference between a pumpkin and a squash?A. It is all in what you call it. Varieties of each of the four species, discussed in this section are popularly called "pumpkins," and varieties of each are called "squash," more by tradition than by system. In fact, orange color sometimes helps determine what is a pumpkin. Two varieties of the same species, C. maxima, hold the records for the world's largest squash and pumpkin. The variety called squash is gray to green and larger one called a pumpkin is pinkish to orange. Shape may vary slightly, but these two freely inter-pollinate and are botanically pretty much identical. Unless you are dealing with specific rules or regulations at a show, you can pretty much interchange the words squash and pumpkin, though you can expect a fight with purists, no matter what you do.

Harvest the mature gourd before the first frost and wash the surface with soap and water. Be sure to dry water off thoroughly afterwards. Place in an area with good ventilation out of the way of direct sunlight. Move to a well ventilated dark area after a week and wither hang the gourd or lay it on a rack or screen so that air can flow under the gourd. If you place a gourd on a surface instead of hanging be sure to turn it every couple of weeks. Be sure to remove and throw out any gourds that start to decay. If it produces mold remove it with a little bleach or rubbing alcohol, if the gourd has gone soft in the spot then it will need to be thrown out. The gourd will be completely dry when the outside is hard, it becomes very light, and when you can hear the seeds rattling inside.
