"They ripened quite a bit slower than I thought they would. They also got off to a slow start because of a late May frost. They may do better as direct-sow as opposed to transplants. They do start easily.
They do dry quite nice, though. They lose the bright orange color, but once dried they could be painted and decorated. I did get enough to decorate with, and will be planting them for many years to come."

"I germinated the Jack Be Little pumkins with everything else but they took much longer to sprout.when they did sprout i only got three plants,and I culled two. Hence the three leaf rating. The one sprout that I did plant came along well.It grew relatively fast and produced three tiny pumkins,perfect for a centerpiece display before the white mold got it. I used neem oil this year to prevent mold.Next year I shall try something stronger . I will try this mini pumkin again next year ,hopefully with better results."

"Jack Be Little is easy and fun to grow. This pumpkin plant takes up very little space. And produces little pumpkins like crazy. Children love Jack be littles as well. If you are a beginer pumpkin grower you have to try the Jack Be Littles."
