Few plants give back like winter squash and pumpkins. They're vigorous growers, gorgeously sprawling through the garden with broad leaves and cheerful blossoms—and they reward you with nutrient-packed fruits that store beautifully through fall and winter.

Both are:

• High in beta-carotene (hello, immune boost!)

• Rich in fiber for happy digestion

• Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins like A, C & E

• 🌟 Bonus: Roasted pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium and plant-based protein!

Whether you’re roasting butternut squash for dinner, baking a cozy pie, or turning your porch into a Pinterest dream—these plants deliver.
