I was wondering how often people check their pumpkins for soft spots or other signs of rotting.
A local farmer grows pumpkins for me and he usually brings them by toward the end of September. So, I spend a month or so wondering how many of them will make it to the carving bench. Sometimes I forget or just don't do it and one will go all mushy and bleed juices on to my garage floor.
I went out today and I found 3 that probably need to be carved this week, else they go straight to the compost pile.
So, how often do you check your pumpkins? Do you have a rule that seems to work?
