General Information
: These small, deep orange pumpkins are fun and easy to grow, lasting up to a year if fully cured on the vine. Jack-Be-Little’s vines grow up to 10 ft. (3 m) long, producing as many as ten pumpkins each. Gardeners have actually grown these pumpkins in large patio containers using strong trellises, training the vine upwards.
Idea & Tips
: Water as needed all season to keep soil evenly moist, keeping your eye out for the first sign of wilt. Wilting is a sure sign that your pumpkins need water. Feed with a vegetable fertilizer to ensure your bountiful harvest.
