My ancestors the Guarani were characterized by being very good farmers of the land, cultivated all their food among them the pumpkin.

My passion for agriculture began as an 8-year-old child. At that time I lived in a rural suburb of large areas. My father and my grandparents were country people, they were very familiar with the origins of sowing.

The work of agriculture was to prepare the land for planting, we planted corn, manioc, squash, tomatoes, peppers, different vegetables and vegetables, today I want to share with you all the manual process that we carried out with my grandmother and my mother in planting Pumpkin This procedure is called an organic procedure because no fertilizer or pesticide is used. Only hangover or cow dung.

As we have just seen there are several types of pumpkins today I want to talk about Creole pumpkin or pumpkin lead.

The name "zapallo criollo" comes from the language "Quechua (zapallu)" the "zapallo lead" is either Argentine, also known as gray squash, curly or Guarani language "(kurapepé).

The "Creole squashes" are large vegetables, they can weigh between 3 and 50 kg, their shell is gray or lead hence their name, their flesh is sweet orange flavor.

The next job is to fertilize the soil, fertilizer is mixed with the soil, here we use cow dung and hangover, the hangover is achieved in the forest, the leaves and sticks that fall to the ground are disseminated and Are mixed with the earth, this mixture of sticks, herbs and black soil is what we call hangover, others use garbage previously buried and scattered in the earth, once fertilized the surface, we have to rake the soil to leave the surface Smooth, as we see in the image.
