These are just regular pumpkins and Amish pie pumpkins. <br /><br />Seminole "pumpkins" are small, buff gourds and are more closely related to the squash family. I've grown them for decades.<br /><br />I think you've been misinformed. Raw Mavin is correct. Seminole pumpkins should be in every garden. Mine are in a square foot, vertical garden.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337066082931621989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-26203150580739295232015-02-04T20:17:21.748-08:002015-02-04T20:17:21.748-08:00awww, that's cute, I love goats <3awww, that's cute, I love goats <3MelanieLHobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761118343343166911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-49723471191818175422014-09-08T09:53:08.035-07:002014-09-08T09:53:08.035-07:00Increase your blog following and increase your web...Increase your blog following and increase your website ranking with quality content. www.melissadsteele.com<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-71676320053619412522013-09-22T19:46:39.281-07:002013-09-22T19:46:39.281-07:00I was Google'ing the curl in my citrus trees a...I was Google'ing the curl in my citrus trees and found this post. It broke my heart, we have two lime trees BECAUSE of this caterpillar! It's a host for this butterfly, the caterpillars will only eat roughly 5 leaves total and turn into a chrysalis. It's a beautiful butterfly, very few make it to butterflies because of all of their natural predators (birds, wasps, spiders, lizards). They've even taken them off my plant when they're in cocoons so I've taken to covering the plants with mesh to protect them. Anyhow, it's a magnificent experience for your kids. Science in their own backyard! The curling of the leaves could be a number of things, I'm still searching my specific cause, but it's definitely not the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly. Hope you found your cause! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142556045701244033.post-10303569219326095302013-08-17T19:45:14.632-07:002013-08-17T19:45:14.632-07:00You are, perhaps, a little foolish not to grow Sem...You are, perhaps, a little foolish not to grow Seminole pumpkin because Seminole squash beats the taste of other pumpkin all to heck. It isn't nicknamed sugar pumpkin for nothing. It takes no effort to grow and is a prolific producer and will grow and grow and grow until your first frost. Utterly delicious. I'm making a pie right now ... I'm a raw foodie and eat it uncooked in an uncooked shell of seeds and stuff. :) Also, Seminole squash is a Florida native and is endangered. Future generations will thank you and you can sell the seeds or give them away. $4 for 10 seeds on Bay.
