Baby Boo is a creamy-white charming little pumpkin that grows to a cute palm size! About 3 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall. These miniature pumpkins have an attractive flattened, ribbed shape and elegant thin but strong stems. Originally developed in West Milton, Pennsylvania, these baby white pumpkins are hardy, reliable producers and a popular sight in farmer's markets, home and barn decorations, and county fairs. Squash is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable growing technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and corn. Each plant had its role in this companion planting tradition. Corn served as a structure for the vining beans to grow up. Squash served as a ground cover to prevent weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all. We ship in 1 business day. Shipped with USPS First Class Mail. Plant Name: Pumpkin, Baby Boo Latin Name: Curcubita pepo Days to Germinate: 7-14 Days to Harvest: 95 Growth Habit: Vining USDA Zones: 3-9 Sunlight: Full Sun, Partial Shade GMO: No Pollination: Heirloom, Open-Pollinated Brand: TomorrowSeeds Fungicide-Treated Seeds:*: No Seeds Packed For**: 2023 *Fungicide-treated seeds protect the seedlings from diseases until they are up and growing. Do not eat treated seeds. **Seeds are freshly packed for the growing season of the year listed. Seeds are still viable beyond pack date. Store in a cool and dry location such as the refrigerator or basement to best preserve germination rates. Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation: Squash grows best in sandy, fertile soils with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. To prepare soil, remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade the soil 8-12 inches deep and turn each shovel of soil over completely to cover the plant materials with soil. You may add fertilizer (see "Fertilizing" below) or 2-3 inches of organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay over the planting area at this point. Till to mix this organic material into the top 8-10 inches of soil. For squash, make rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 3 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage. Planting: Since squash does not grow well in cool weather, plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil begins to warm. For a good fall crop, plant early so squash will mature before the first killing frost. To plant, make 1 inch deep holes spaced 4 feet apart in raised beds down the rows, then plant 5-6 seeds in each hole. Cover thinly with soil and water after planting. After the seeds come up and plants are 3-4 inches tall, thin to 3 squash plants per hill. *Tip: Plant squash with beans and corn for companion planting. Planting Depth: 1 inch Within-Row Spacing: 4 feet Between-Row Spacing: 6-8 feet Care During the Season: Watering: Water the plants enough to keep them from wilting. If the weather is really dry, squash plants should be watered at least once a week. Sandy soils need to be watered more often than heavy clay soils. Weeding: Keep squash plants as weed-free as possible. When plowing or hoeing do not dig deeper than 1 inch to prevent from cutting the feeder rooters which may slow the plant's growth. Fertilizing: You may optionally add scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 square feet of garden area. Work into the soil and leave the surface smooth. For small gardens, use 2-3 tablespoons of fertilizer for each hill. Scatter the fertilizer evenly over a 2 foot by 2 foot area. work it into the top 2-3 inches of soil. When blooms first appear, you may optionally apply 2 tablespoons of fertilizer around each hill. Do not let fertilizer touch the plants. Water the plants after fertilizing. Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Larvae of the Squash vine borer are usually found inside the stem and cannot be controlled once they are inside the stem. Sevin® and Thiodan® can control for squash bugs. Pyrethrin and rotenone can control for the cucumber beetle. Before using a pesticide, read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: Squash can get many diseases, especially when harvesting begins. Check the plants daily and if spots or mold appear, treat the plant with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. Please always follow label directions. Harvesting: Harvest winter squash when they are full sized, the skin is hard, and the bottom of the fruit is lightened in color. A light frost will not damage fruits of winter squash. A light frost will not damage fruits of winter squash. Squash is best when cut, not pulled, from the vine. Winter squash can be stored for several months. Old squash vines can be composted or worked in the soil well before the Spring planting season.

Move over, pumpkins. America's decorative gourd curiosity has become a full-blown addiction. Biden must implement a one-gourd-per-household rule.
Friday brings mixed feelings to surface every single week. It is the only day of the week we get to spent together. Yet, before the day starts, fear of the day ending too fast starts evading my mind. The idea of sleeping through the day without having talked enough, cooked enough and done enough just scares me. Friday has to be special, something I can hold onto all week and look forward to the next. My expectation of this single day often leaves me feeling a little under the weather. For every extra hour of rest, I wish we could have gone to the vegetable market or a morning jog, a cup of coffee instead. While I wake up with a buzzing mind, straight to work, furiously trying to cover up for the lost time, dropping things, slipping, breaking, forgetting to drink water. Every action hurried up, like life would slip away. M, slowly gets out of his bed. None of his moves are hurried or calculated, his mind blank and clear. His eyes still sleepy. He walks to the kitchen, slowly pouring himself tea after tea in his pitch black coffee mug. There is no sense of urgency or panic. It is just a good old morning, with good old ginger tea. I often wonder if I love that about him or hate it. It’s a mixed feeling kind of day, that Friday. When we do manage to get to vegetable market, the scenes change. I'm calm and collected. Taking every moment to look at every single produce. Capturing the beauty of vivid colors in my memory. A thousand possibilities running through my mind. A tender, sweet smile on my face while I stand gazing at the zucchini flowers still attached with the fruit. But the widest smile came when I spotted blood oranges! For a while, I was keen on doing something with the blood oranges so I could enjoy them all throughout summer, so I could hold onto this ruby treasure. But like Fridays, I wanted to bring myself to enjoy the moment, not cry over what we missed, or preserve things for future, but live in the moment. For now at least, that's what I did. This flaky, buttery and rustic tart is one of the best tarts I have made lately. The filling almost turns into sweet buttery jam while the slices on the top are best way to show off the beautiful orange hues. It is basic recipe and can be used for other fruits and citrus as well. Just be warned, its buttery deliciousness. Flaky Blood Orange Tart with Salted Caramel Sauce Adapted from Smitten Kitchen, originally via Zoe Nathan from Food and Wine Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, the stick cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled 3 tablespoons ice water 8 blood oranges 1 large egg yolk mixed with 2 tablespoons of water Method Before you start with the recipe, keep your flour and cut butter in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Pulse the flour, 2 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and keep pulsing till you get pea size crumbs. It doesn't have to be consistent pea size all around; little larger chunks of butter are good too! Sprinkle in the cold water and pulse just until the dough is moistened. You don't want to pulse too much at this point. Turn the crumbs onto a work surface, and bring it together into a disk. Wrap the pastry in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. On a floured work surface, roll out the pastry to an inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. The original recipe calls for using a parchment paper before placing it on a cookie sheet, but I didn't bother with that. Refrigerate the pastry along with the tray for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the blood oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Thinly slice 2 of the oranges crosswise; remove the pits. Working over a sieve set over a bowl, cut in between the membranes of the remaining oranges, releasing the sections into the sieve. Remove the pits and gently shake out as much juice as possible without mashing the sections; you will need 1 cup of sections. Reserve the orange juice for another use. Arrange the orange sections on the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sugar over the oranges. Using a paring knife, thinly slice the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the oranges. Fold up the pastry over the oranges, leaving most of the oranges uncovered. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle lightly with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Arrange the orange slices on top, leaving a 1-inch border of pastry all around. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar on top. Freeze the tart until solid, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. I actually misread freezing for chilling and chilled the dough overnight. Having realized, I then put it in the freezer for couple of hours and baked it from there. Works perfectly well. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the tart directly from the freezer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the pastry is deeply browned. Let it cool on a cooling rack. Deep, Dark Salted Butter Caramel Sauce Makes about 1 1/3 cups Ingredients 1 cup sugar 6 tablespoons salted butter 1/2 cup plus two tablespoons heavy cream, at room temperature Method Melt the sugar over medium to moderately high heat in a large pot, whisking the sugar as it melts to ensure it heats evenly. Cook the sugar to a nice, dark copper color. Add the butter all at once and stir it in, before turning off the stove and pour in the heavy cream (The sauce will foam up quite a bit when you add it; this is why you want the larger pot.), whisking it until you get a smooth sauce. Let it cool. Pour is all over the tart. Don't get crazy though, save it to eat spoonfuls of. Just kidding. Store the remaining in jar for up to 2 weeks.

Carved Fall Gourd, Handmade Pumpkin Decoration, Whimsical Pumpkin With Lights, Jack O Lantern Decor, Fall Tabletop Decor Meet Thisbe! This whimsical pumpkin is made with a real dried gourd! It's surprising to know that this happy pumpkin began as a seedling on a farm! I use dried gourds that come from farms in the United States. I cut the tops off, clean out the middle and carve the faces just as you would a fresh jack-o-lantern. Painted and waxing shows off the gorgeous shell of the gourd which feels wonderfully smooth to the touch. I like to dress my pumpkins in style, so I channel my inner Madd Hatter and create beautiful autumn hats. The hats have a fall whimsey feeling of scarecrows, ghosts, and witches, with lots of fall texture and foliage. This makes each pumpkin gourd truly unique, with its own personality. I leave the inside unpainted because I think it's important to not forget the true nature of this pumpkin as a real vegetable! Light them up! There's nothing better for your fall tabletop decor than to have lighted pumpkins around your home! Because I really don't enjoy walking around my house turning on all the lights of my fall pumpkin decorations and then having to turn them off at bed, this pumpkin comes with its own set of timer string lights. I arrange the string lights loosely inside the pumpkin, then turn on the timer setting around dusk, then they stay on for about six hours, and turn off on their own! It's so wonderful when the pumpkins just light up as the sun is setting! You don't have to touch it again until the batteries run out and need to be replaced. Measurements 14 inches tall 8 inches wide String Lights are included, but the AAA batteries are not included. Thank you for visiting the BoutiqueBarn, Happy Fall Y'all! Christy :)
