Abundant plants produce many 3-4 inch miniature pumpkins with deep orange skin. They are much earlier to mature than large pumpkin varieties.
Plant these large vines in full sun, in soil amended with compost and a good vegetable fertilizer. Give them plenty of space, each plant needs about 3-5 feet. They are easy and fun to grow on bamboo teepees by training the vines up the poles with twine.

Harvest when the skin is tough and they are fully deep orange. They make a nice autumn decoration. They are even edible, just slice in half and bake, then coat them with a little butter and sea salt.
