Baby Boo pumpkin seeds
These miniature, flat, ivory-white Baby Boo pumpkins are easy and fun to grow. These are striking ivory-white pumpkin that is no more than 2-3 inches across. Both adorable and edible, these are perfect for arrangements and cooking as well.
These were developed by John Jaunsem who lived in PA. around 1990. Their popularity has excelled both for their versatility, beauty, and explosive production on the vine. The trick to maintaining this variety's ivory beauty is picking them BEFORE they ripen. Cut them off the vine when they can fit in the size of your palm. They will mature into a more off-white color if you allow them to stay on the vine until ripe.
