  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 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 if I have to. I considered the tiniest ones, Baby Boo, but while edible their description 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.

      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.
