The pumpkin is a type of gourd that ripens in autumn, orange and heavy on a trailing vine. A trip to the patch at harvest time is a season of its own. Some are grown for carving into a jack o lantern, while smaller ones are better for cooking, roasted for their seeds or cooked down into a puree for pie. The warm blend known as pumpkin spice shows up in everything once the leaves turn. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pumpkin a fruit in this pumpkin word search?
