Planting Tips:
Direct sow Jack Be Little Pumpkin seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has thoroughly warmed. Seeds can also be started indoors several weeks before the last frost for an earlier start.

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and provide plenty of room for the vigorous vines to spread. Keep plants consistently watered, particularly while flowering and developing pumpkins.

Harvest when the pumpkins have developed their bright orange color, the rind is firm, and the stems begin to dry. Cut pumpkins from the vine with a short section of stem attached.

Jack Be Little can also be grown in a large container when the vines are given plenty of room to trail or sturdy support for climbing.

Great for vegetable gardens, fall displays, Halloween decorations, crafts, and seasonal decorating.
