"In Russia, so much popular pumpkin?"

This question I asked a real foreigner... from Ukraine. Here I do not know that there is a pumpkin less loved than we do. Although it is grown in the Ukraine a lot.

I think a man accustomed to see the pumpkin forage crop, it is surprising the interest of Russians to the pumpkin. About her ask questions in the forums. Its seeds are buying colored bags. And share photos of their different-sized pumpkins next harvest.

That's my pumpkin this season:

Cattle we have, so it is obvious that I am one of those Russians who love pumpkin. For what?

Attracted by its simplicity. At first I pinch it until they read the advice: do not do it! Therefore gets my pumpkins only early weeding. Then they will not allow weeds.

Like the fact that it can be stored until the spring, just warm. Or cut and in the freezer. Conveniently!

Super useful, tasty - as it is at all possible not to love?

And the positive vegetables: big and beautiful!

On the love of pumpkin

Another example. They were popular beer and ale from the pumpkin, where they were made - in colonial New England. True, one name is left of the pumpkin beers and ales, surrogates and preservatives replaced natural product. But it's not about that. Somehow, other people are not trying to make drinks from a pumpkin ...

Wild celebrations with pumpkin are popular mainly in the United States. Plus, those who copy the American culture.

In Ukraine, pumpkin handed rejected by the groom during courtship. In other nations, no bad associations pumpkin causes.

Peruvians love different to everyday products pumpkin. I was particularly impressed with wheels for carts.
