I didn't just fall off a turnip truck, but until this week I've never seen a white pumpkin. Is this a new breed of pumpkin? Have they been hiding in a pumpkin patch all these years? Do they only grow in certain places? Are these albino pumpkins; oh, no, they have no eyes or I would see that the eyes were pink. What's up with these white pumpkins?

Well, it's nice to know I haven't lost my mind. If I ever lose my mind, I hope one of you will return it to me. It's the only one I've got and it tends to wander off some days.

Just started seeing them last year...pretty, aren't they?! Like them grouped in with the normal orange ones. And if I see your mind straying off, I'll gladly tell it to get back to where it belongs. Just promise to do the same thing for me!:)

They have been around for several years..I like orange ones best..Half Moon Bay Calif. had their great pumpkin weigh in last weekend..winner 1524 lbs. came from Coos Bay Ore. It would confirm Linus {Peanuts comic strip} theory of the Great Pumpkin arising out of the pumpkin patch on Halloween night..

I've seen them for years! My neighbor even grew some in her garden this year. They come in the mini size and in a medium size. I've seen the mediums carved and the flesh inside is a light orange.
