Know before you buy
Yes, they are fully edible. While they are often used for seasonal decor, they can be prepared just like other winter squash.
For the cleanest white color, harvest the pumpkins early. If left on the vine too long, they may develop a slight yellow or cream tint.
Because these are vining plants, you should space them 4 to 5 feet apart. This gives the vines enough room to spread and ensures adequate airflow to prevent disease.
This variety is specifically noted for its resistance to powdery mildew, which is a common issue for pumpkins. Providing full sun and consistent moisture will further help keep your plants healthy.
Yes, because Baby Boo is an open-pollinated variety, you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons. Keep in mind that seeds remain viable for up to 3 years when stored in a cool, dry place.
