Pumpkin - Jack Be Little

This is our first year growing this variety for our Spring 2025 Plant Sale! Grown from Ed Hume seeds that were shared by our friends at Growing Neighbors.

Notes from Hume Seeds

A new miniature pumpkin ideal for table decorations, painting and small jack o’lanterns. Easy to grow plants bear several 2 inch tall by 3 inch wide pumpkins per plant. Although edible these pumpkins are more highly valued for their decorative value and will last for months if properly cured. Approximately 95 days to maturity.

Specs:

• Plant Size: 3 - 5 feet

• Days to Maturity: 95 days

• Light Preference: Full sun

• Fruit Size: 3 inches, 6-10 per vine

SPACING: Leave about 4 feet between hills; space rows 4 to 6 feet apart depending upon available space.

SEED SAVING:

If planted near other squash, may cross pollinate. Allow squash to fully ripen on vine. Remove seeds from squash, clean with water and dry for multiple days. Store in a cool, dry place.
