So, I'm starting to harvest my pumpkins. I planted them early in order to "Save" them for some of my photo shoots. I'd like the pumpkins to last until October. How can I make them last? (I am not going to carve them, of course)

Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.

Yup, keep them out of the sun and heat this time of year, but not too cold (no fridge). We left ours on the counter or under the stairs and just cleaned up a few weeks ago.

cool temps and good air flow is a must. I still have a cinderella pumpkin from last year....

I keep mine in my basement and they keep for months! I still have a few left from last year even!

You want a cool dark place with airflow. Stagnent air will make them rot quicker than anything. Temps around 65 or so seem to do the best for me.

Hope this helps!
