Positive	dthom	On Jan 4, 2007, dthom from Jensen, UT wrote: I have had great success with snackjack the last two summers. It is a bush type plant with at least six medium-size pumpkins. The seeds are plentiful, easy to remove, and are delicious toasted with a little oil and salt. My family eats them up quickly.
