The Baby Boo pumpkin is a charming miniature white pumpkin variety that’s perfect for fall decorating, crafting, and even small-space gardening. Each pumpkin measures about 2–3 inches across, with smooth ivory skin that holds its color beautifully long after harvest. These little pumpkins grow on vigorous, compact vines that produce impressive yields of uniform fruits. Baby Boo is easy to grow and matures quickly, making it a great choice for gardeners of all levels. For best results, plant seeds in full sun after the danger of frost has passed, giving each vine plenty of space to spread. Water regularly and mulch to keep soil moist and weed-free. Once harvested, these adorable pumpkins can last for months indoors — perfect for centerpieces, holiday décor, or market displays.
Pumpkin growing tips: To control powdery mildew and other leaf diseases caused by mold, fungus, or bacteria, simply remove yellowing, damaged, or diseased leaves by hand once weekly to decrease the spread. Spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect if needed. Spray pumpkin plants with BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) if you notice chewed up leaves caused by worm/caterpillar infestations. Hand pollinate the female flowers to ensure they get pollinated and produce fruit.

Sowing: Direct sowing is preferred after your last spring frost date. In warmer climates can also direct sow at the end of summer for a fall harvest.

Common Diseases: Pumpkins get leaf diseases caused by pathogens like molds, fungus spores, bacteria etc.... It is very common, so dont worry. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 5 days or so as a preventative, or until you notice the spread of the disease has stopped.
Common Pests: Critters like rabbits love to munch on newly germinated seedlings, so protection from small animals might be required. If you notice the leaves are chewed up and there are small black, green, or orange balls, worms/caterpillars are chewing up the plants. Spray with BT or spinosad to treat for the worms.

Additional Tips/Information: N/A
Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
