The most intriguing fact about these miniature pumpkin-look-alikes is that they are ornamental eggplants. Pumpkin on a stick is planted in the spring, grown over the summer like other eggplants, and ready to eat in the fall. They grow moderately fast, usually ready for harvesting about 75 days after sowing from seeds.\u003cbr\u003eAs the plant grows to 3 to 4 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide, it develops strong branches that will need support as the fruit matures. Each plant will produce dozens of fruits, and their weight will make the branches droop and may break if they don't have tomato cages supporting them.\u003cbr\u003eIt is best to grow pumpkin on a stick by starting it from seed indoors. About six weeks before the last scheduled frost in your area, plant the seeds one-quarter to one-half inch deep in pots. Because they closely resemble eggplants, label the pots at seeding time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the seed pots moist at a germination temperature of 70 to 85 F, and the seedlings will emerge in about two weeks. They need at least 14 hours of bright light, so provide supplemental light with an artificial grow light. Once the seedlings have developed at least two sets of true leaves and the temperatures at night are consistently above 55 F, they are ready to be hardened off and transplanted outside.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Healthlifetrade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48056501567540,"sku":"GQPRJRK","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/7272\/3252\/files\/Output_400.jpg?v=1784708562","url":"https:\/\/healthlifetrade.com\/products\/pumpkin-on-a-stick-seeds-ornamental-pumpkin-eggplant-tree-heirloom-usa-nj-grower-see-my-store-for-largest-selection","provider":"Healthlifetrade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
