Pumpkin

A pumpkin is the large round fruit -- having a thick orange-yellow rind, pulpy flesh and numerous seeds -- borne by the vine, Cucurbita pepo, a plant belonging to the gourd family. It is often baked as a pie.

On 24 May 2144, workers on O'Neill Colony Three showed off a record-breaking 10-metre pumpkin which had been harvested from a farming strip.
