Sure, some winter squashes like butternut squash and acorn squash might look different from those round orange pumpkins, but are they technically the same? And how do gourds fit into the equation? It can all sound a bit confusing, but we're here to set the record straight.

Joseph Alvarez has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and a minor in Environmental Science, is a founding member of the Cape May County Beach Plum Association, a member of the state Beekeepers Association and is active in many county and agricultural programs in South Jersey.
