PUMPKINS IN A CANADIAN SCENE

A type of squash, pumpkins can be seen everywhere in North America at this time of year. So Canada is a big grower of pumpkins too. Nationally and even local for me

Fields.

Baskets at markets.

Used in pies, tarts and bread. Pumpkin seeds are so tasty after being roasted in the oven.

In rows.

Funny faces.

Easy to grow in a garden.

Even the colour orange is a healing colour. Is it why we like pumpkins so much.

Every year a chance to take photos of pumpkins.

But a favourite trip in 2014 to Willowtree Farm market brought some really fun pictures.

A funny pumpkin dog.

My favourite of all time- Pumpkin Man.

Another orange field.

Decorations by the door.

A neat pumpkin patch on Bathurst just north of Major Mackenzie close to home on the Vaughan side of Bathurst.

Of course pumpkins with other fall vegetables are so Canadian and so local. The native Canadians had squash as one of their staples. My favourite is pumpkin pie with whipped cream. How about you, do you like pumpkins?? Thank our farmers!!
