Question: what is the difference between zucchini and pumpkin?
Answer: Zucchini, known as summer squash, matures quickly in 40 to 60 days. Pumpkins, called winter squash, take longer to mature: 80 to 120 days. There are many varieties of both winter and summer squash. All squash is tender to frost so take note of your numbers of frost-free days when choosing which cultivars to grow.
