Overview
Hijinks F1 is a 2011 AAS national winner from Sakata, a small carving pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) with blocky-round, deep orange fruit of 6 to 7 inches and 7 to 9 lb, smooth skin with distinct grooves, and a strong stem that makes a good handle. Uniformity is its hallmark. Vines are long, spreading to 15 ft, so plant 3 ft apart in rows 5 ft apart. Direct sow; about 100 days from seed or 85 from transplant. Powdery mildew tolerance is a plus in humid regions, and fruit releases cleanly from the vine at harvest. Pick when fully colored and hard, keeping the handle intact for painting or carving.
