Were you ever confused about the difference between all the pumpkins, squashes, and gourds? Here is an answer: All squashes and pumpkins belong to the genera Cucurbita. The common name for Cucurbita is squash. When you use the common name squash there is the simple division of : · summer squashes (such as zucchini) which are harvested and eaten at a young stage in the summer, · winter squashes (such as pumpkins, butternuts, etc), which are harvested and eaten at a mature stage in the fall, · gourds which are harvested in the fall, but they are usually to hard to eat.
Pumpkins are a winter squash. So what is the difference? Here is a simple rule:
The genus Cucurbita is divided into species: · Cucurbita maxima · Cucurbita moschata · Cucurbita pepo · Cucurbita mixta · Cucurbita argyrosperma There is one more group of gourds which is a different genus. The gourds used sometimes as birdhouses are Lagenaria siceraria. We grow the Bule, Speckled Swan and Serpente di Sicilia.
