Pumpkins are glorious Fall apparitions, ready to carve, paint & if you buy the right kind, ready to be turned into pies &soups. ‘Baby Bear’ is a mini pumpkin that still looks like a killclassic pumpkin should: perfect orange orbs (6” diameter & 4” tall) with long slender handles, just the right size & heft for a child’s hand. The orange flesh is fine grained & tasty, making it a fine cooking pumpkin. The seeds are semi-hulless, good roasted for snacks. The plant is relatively compact, 12-18” tall with a spread of 4 feet. Plant in a well fertilized garden bed in full sun & keep well watered. Let the pumpkins stay on the vine until they are uniformly colored & the rind resists denting when pressed with a thumbnail. Cure for 10 days at 80 degrees; the pumpkins will then store well for 3-4 months. AAS winner.
