Cucurbita pepo 'Baby Pam'
Small sweet pumpkin ideal for pies, baking and autumn displays

Cucurbita pepo 'Baby Pam' is a productive small pumpkin variety producing attractive, uniform dark orange fruits weighing approximately 0.9–1.8 kg (2–4 lb). Beneath the smooth, tough skin is sweet, smooth-textured flesh particularly well suited to baking, cooking and homemade pumpkin pies, while the convenient individual fruit size makes harvesting and kitchen use much easier than with large pumpkins.

'Baby Pam' combines excellent eating quality with ornamental value, making the mature orange fruits equally useful for autumn and Halloween displays. Vigorous trailing vines can produce generous yields when grown in a warm, sunny position with fertile soil and plenty of space, with fruits typically reaching maturity in around 100 days.

Expert Growing Tips

● Start seeds individually in pots to avoid unnecessary root disturbance when young pumpkin plants are transplanted.

● Give plants plenty of space despite the relatively small fruit size – 'Baby Pam' produces vigorous trailing vines approximately 3–3.6 m (10–12 ft) long.

● Water deeply during fruit development and direct water towards the soil rather than repeatedly wetting the foliage.

● Harvest when the fruits have developed their characteristic deep orange colour, the skin has hardened and the stalks begin to dry.

● Cure fully mature fruits after harvesting and store them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; the tough-skinned fruits can keep for several months under suitable conditions.
