Small Sugar Pumpkin – The "Baker’s Delight" for Velvety Custards and the World’s Best Homemade Pies
Shop the highest quality Small Sugar Pumpkin seeds and discover why the best cooks never use the canned stuff. When it comes to flavor and texture, Small Sugar (often called New England Pie) is the "Gourmet King." Unlike the big carving pumpkins that can be watery and stringy, this heirloom produces compact 5-to-8-pound fruits with a sugary, fine-grained flesh. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are selling the Saturday morning in the garden with the grandkids, the smell of roasting pumpkin seeds, and the pride of a "Blue Ribbon" harvest. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your bake on" with a rich, roasted flavor that defines the holiday season.
In the garden, Small Sugar is an "over-achiever," producing a high volume of fruit on vines that are much more manageable than their giant cousins. These pumpkins are a beautiful deep orange and have a classic, slightly ribbed appearance that makes them gorgeous as tabletop decorations before they head to the kitchen. It is a fantastic companion plant for nasturtiums and peas, which can help keep the garden soil healthy and pest-free. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get a heavy harvest of sweet pumpkins that are the perfect size for a single batch of gourmet pumpkin bread or a legendary pie.

Small Sugar Pumpkin Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow seeds directly in the garden once the soil temperature has reached a consistent 70°F. These smaller pumpkins mature a bit faster than the giants, making them great for gardeners with slightly shorter seasons.
2. Preparation: Select a full-sun location with fertile, well-draining soil. Pumpkins are "thrifty" growers but appreciate a boost of composted organic matter at the start of the season.
3. Sowing: Plant in "hills" of 2-3 seeds, 1 inch deep. Space hills about 4-6 feet apart. If you want more pumpkins, don't prune the wings; if you want fewer but larger pumpkins, you can pinch off the ends of the vines once a few fruits have set.
4. Care: Keep the patch weed-free while the vines are young. Once the large leaves shade the ground, they will naturally suppress most weeds. Water at the base to prevent leaf diseases.
5. Pests and Diseases: Protect your crop from Cucumber Beetles, which can spread wilt. Harvest the pumpkins when the skin is hard and the stems have turned woody and dry. Always leave a few inches of stem attached for better storage life.
