| The Jack be Little Pumpkin is the perfect variety for kids! I grew a white jack be little plant and an orange with yellow stripes jack be little plant. Both got attacked by the squash vine borer, but I still ended up with a harvest. Not sure about the taste, as I used it for decoration purposes. In the spring, I plant the entire pumpkin into the soil and let it decompose. This way, when the warm weather comes up, the seeds will germinate and I will have a hill of seedlings at my disposal for the summer. Overall, an excellent variety, especially because I was able to fit it into my small space garden! |
