Pumpkin and Watermelon question

kr222
15 years ago

I was looking for someone to give me their impressions of the following pumpkins and watermelon varieties. This season will be my first attempt at growing pumpkins and watermelon ever and need any advice I can get.

Bush Sugar Baby Watermelon (Just got seed)

Orange Smoothie Pumpkin

Small Sugar Pumpkin

I'm having a hard time deciding between the two pumpkins. I am going to try and trellis them since I am really, really tight on space. I've been leaning toward Orange Smoothie due to it's shorter vine lengths. On the other hand, I like that Small Sugar is an heirloom and catalogs say that it is good for trellising. What I am looking for in a pumpkin is one that is around 5-8 pounds, can be contained on a 3'x5' trellis, and one that is good for pies and muffins.

Any bit of information, suggestions, or pictures are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Kim
