It's interesting that nobody has quantified the word "small" so far in this
discussion. You say "really small", and I'm thinking grapes, but I'm being a
wise guy. Are you picturing pumpkins the size of lemons? A softball?

OK, "not much bigger around than the palm of your hand (and often smaller
than that), and about half as tall as they are wide." I once toted some I'd grown
in an empty canning jar box (with the dividers in place).

They are edible, very sweet but a little bland and quick to get stringy in storage.
The little single-serving pumpkins are very cute on the plate.

Haven't grown them in several years.

Cute vegetables? Uh oh.


Suddenly, I'm worried. Cheryl, tell the truth: Do
you have cow-motif towel pegs in your kitchen?



Nope! Very Mission style all through the house.

Palm of your hand.....are you referring to metric palms, or the kinds of
palms measured in inches?

Now you're just being cheeky.

The palm of my size-large-gloved hand. Pretty close to the standard
'hand' measurement ie, 4 inches (or just over 10cm).
