I ate a few rice crackers and my mouth started burning… ? Alrighty then.
I’ve ordered some more seeds. Jack Be Little pumpkins, Tommy Toe cherry tomatoes and some cat grass seeds. Very cheap. I just wish the packets were a little smaller, I only have so many pots left.
The zucchini are growing a lot of adult leaves and already shaping up to be monsters. What have I done planting four of them… I only had 30cm pots as well. I still haven’t got the stakes and the pipes might not be tall enough.
I hope they go ok… pumpkins are apparently prone to mildew and attract pests. And I’m worried the pots are too small.
I was going to get Small Sugar pumpkins because they’re sweet and good for pies but checked the size of the fruit and it’s lucky that I did. Those are smaller than standard but 18cm/2kg would be a bit heavy for vertical growing.
I picked the Jack Be Little variety that seemed like they’d grow to the size of my fist and will support them with cut off stockings if I have to.
I considered the tiniest ones, Baby Boo, but they look very ornamental. Their description said they were edible but didn’t say they were good eating.
I grew the baby boo pumpkins last year. They were ok to eat, but a bit incipid. They made a decent individual stuffed pumpkin as long as you were relying on the filling for flavour and the pumpkin was mostly presentation.
Yeah. That’s a good thing in one way as you could just slice one or two in half and bake/microwave for a little bit of fresh pumpkin. But I wanted something that would taste nice

Those little pumpkins look especially adorbs and will be fast too. You have to show us pictures when they are ready. 🎃

I want these for purée. Melbcat is partial to pumpkin
There definitely would not have been much to puree, there was not much flesh on them.
