Small Sugar Pumpkins are the piemaker’s favorite. Boasting sweet-flavor and thick, meaty flesh it's no wonder it's a favorite. Matures to 15 to 20 cm (6-8") with orange, fine-textured flesh enclosing a small seed cavity. This versatile variety can be frozen or used as decorative center pieces as well.

Seeding Instructions: Sow a few seeds over a hill 9 to 12 inches tall and 1 foot across. Choose an area with full sun after any chance of frost has passed. Thin to 3 plants per hill when 1 inch tall. When vines are 3 inches high, thin to the strongest plant in each hill. Use a heavy organic mulch to control weeds. After harvest, allow to stand in garden a few days until skin hardens, then store in a cool, dry place. From late summer on, remove any blossoms or new fruit to enhance growth on fruit that is already formed.

Days to germination: from 8 to 10

Days to maturity: about 110
