With fall comes the perfect opportunity to add some decorative pumpkins to your landscaping. Whether you’re looking to add a festive touch to your home for Halloween or simply wanting to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors, pumpkins can be the perfect addition. While they may only last a few weeks, there are a few things you can do to help keep your Fall pumpkins fresh longer.
One of the best ways to prolong the life of your pumpkins is to choose those that are freshly picked. If you’re buying from a pumpkin patch, make sure to select ones that have been recently harvested. You can also look for signs of mold or rot, which can shorten their lifespan. Once you’ve brought your pumpkins home, avoid storing them in direct sunlight or in an area where they will be exposed to large fluctuations in temperature. Instead, keep them in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use them.
With a little care, your decorative pumpkins can bring fall cheer to your landscaping for weeks to come!
