Pumpkin Baby Boo Seeds

Tender Annual

Description

Cucurbita pepo

File these under "cute" - i grow them for the joy they bring. These creamy white pumpkins 2-3" in diameter will fit in the palm of your hands. They'd make a good base for miniature dried flower arrangements. Best to plant them in a place where the vines can spread. Yield is about 8-10 pumpkins per plant. The flesh is edible and they can store 12-16 months. Wait and plant them in June so they are ready to harvest in late September. Harvest them early for a more pure white coloring - as they ripen they will become more cream in color.
