OSC Seeds Pumpkin Jack Be Little Pkg.

Approximately 10 seeds/package (15 seeds/gram)

As the name implies, ‘Jack-Be Little’ produces miniature pumpkins, approximately 5 cm tall, 7.5 cm in diameter and cute as a button! Although they are edible, they are most often used for table decorations and miniature Jack o'Lanterns. When properly cured, these pumpkins will last up to 8 months.

Pumpkins are a hot-weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well-drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Sow seed directly outdoors, in late May through early June, 2.5 cm deep in hills 2.4 m apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Seed can be started indoors three weeks before the plant-out date. Pumpkins do not transplant well. Use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil. For competition-sized pumpkins, allow only two pumpkins per plant to mature. Protect mature pumpkins from frost and cold temperatures. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
