Harvesting: Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3"–4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Ideally, cure at 80°-85°F and 80–85% humidity or a warm, sunny spot with good air circulation for 1 to 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.

I planted two mounds of these in zone 9b in the second week of August and I’ve already harvested my first three pumpkins from one of the plants. They are both doing great and the bees love them! The vines are quite compact (especially compared to the Howden)

Cute little bright white pumpkin. Harvested early for halloween. Only got 1 per plant because of my neglect

Very cute little pumpkins. Good germination rate. Produces well. Pumpkins grow to full size very quickly as they are quite small.
