It’s that time of the year again. It’s the time when people begin buying pumpkins to decorate for Halloween. The boyfriend and I have seen pumpkins for sale for several weeks now. Each time we see them we say it’s too early to buy pumpkins. Surely they will rot before Halloween.

So how soon before Halloween do you buy a pumpkin? Two weeks? If the weather is warm then the pumpkin will rot but if the weather is cooler then the pumpkin will last until Halloween. The weather here got much cooler last week so I guess the pumpkins will last longer now…as long as we don’t have a warm spell.
