How do I harvest pumpkins?

Modified on: Tue, 27 Sep, 2022 at 9:57 AM

Wait until the leaves die down and the fruit becomes a rich orange
Cut pumpkins from the vine with pruning shears.
- Leave about 3 inches of stem on the fruit.
- If the stems are broken rather then cut they can rot quickly.
Set pumpkins in the sun for a week or two to harden the outer skin.
Store pumpkins and a cool, dark, dry place
