I am looking for seeds for little white pumpkins sometimes called ghost pumpkins. Where is a good place to check and when is it to late to start seeds? I am right on the line between zones 5/6. Would like to grow some for my daycare to paint for halloween. Thanks for any help.

I've seen seeds for Ghost Pumpkins at Home Depot. and It probably is a little too late to plant, but hey, plant a couple and see what happens.

If you plant this week you can still get some baby boo planted. I plant mine at this time every year : )
