Posted - Sep 02 2011 : 6:16:18 PM 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)

Posted - Sep 03 2011 : 12:12:54 PM 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!
