Jack-B-Quik Pumpkin

Jack-B-Quick is a close cousin to the Jack-B-Little pumpkin, but with smaller, taller, and darker orange fruit. Mix the two together with some slightly bigger pumpkins for a lovely holiday display. These pumpkins will keep well after harvest, so you might be able to work them into more than one display! And despite their size (just a half pound), they’re also good in pie.
