The word Pumpkin dates back to the 17th century. It comes from the Old French, "pompion," in its turn derived from the Greek word for melon, "pepon," meaning "cooked by the sun," or ripe.Pepon Pumpkin is just about complete. He will get his day in the sun very shortly.

Hi Melissa,
Tres Bien! It is fun to read the French and Greek origins of our pumpkins! It was so nice to meet you yesterday at AH. I am sure that you had a great time in Pleasanton with all of the festivities.
