Fascinating Fact Friday: Pumpkins

Which of these pumpkins has the most seeds? Can you guess?

You might think the biggest pumpkin has the most seeds. Right? Well, maybe but maybe not. The pumpkin with the most lines on it will have the most seeds. Each line is a string of seeds inside the pumpkin, so the more lines, the more seeds. Sometimes smaller pumpkins have more seeds than big pumpkins. Just goes to show...you can't judge people or pumpkins by their size!

If you want to read a great book about pumpkins, check out How Many Seeds in A Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara.
