Two years ago I had a single Jack-be-little plant produce 121 pumpkins. They just love liquid seaweed and fish. Made great decorations-some even lasted past New Year's.

WildBill..I grew'm in 99 on a chain link fence and let them climb...they did well.I weaved the tips around the chainlink every once-in-a-while but between the tendrils and the weaving they did well. Borers like them too..so beware......Glenn A.
