How to pick like a pro
- Is it ripe?
Look for an even, deep color, a hard rind your fingernail cannot dent, and a dry, firm stem.
- How to pick
Cut the vine with pruners and leave 3 to 4 inches of stem. Carry pumpkins from underneath, never by the stem.
- Best time to go
Late September to mid October for the best selection. Go after a few dry days; patches get muddy after rain.
- Keep it fresh
Uncarved pumpkins last 2 to 3 months in a cool, dry spot. Carved ones last about a week.
