It's Pumpkin Time: Unusual Pumpkins, Squashes & Gourds

Unusual pumpkins, squashes, and gourds to decorate your fall home, garden, or dinner table are available now at Urban Roots. Each has a unique character—some have bumps, warts, stripes, spots, speckles, in surprising shapes, colors, and sizes. Swan-necked gourds may have graceful beauty or comic poses. Apple gourds and birdhouse gourds (resembling big green pears) can be displayed as-is or dried and hollowed for birdhouses. Many of these pumpkins and squashes are not only decorative but also delicious—a decoration today, dinner tomorrow!

Urban Roots also offers a great selection of conventional pumpkins—from pie pumpkins to large orange ones perfect for jack-o'-lanterns or landscape accents. Place a few in your garden to provide wildlife treats into the colder seasons, and you might even get volunteer vines next year.
