Abstract
After watching and participating for 26 years in the cultivation of Cucurbita in Sweden, I have seen it becoming more and more popular.
The advent of Halloween has become a time of celebrating with parties and of course with the use of Halloween pumpkins, decorative pumpkins and ornamentals. Cucurbita as a food has been gaining in popularity but at a slower rate.
Seeds as a health food are also on the rise.
