Pumpkin patch practices and gourd garden grooming.
#30348
Hey guys, I've just been given 21 'kins (late 21st bday prezzie from the fella lol) but how do I store them until carving?

They are outside where its cool and I will take them in if the weather forcast says frost..... but should they be on something? (they are cement at the min). Also I cant have them out of direct sunlight as I have a east facing garden (flooded with light in the mornings.)

Should I turn them? Cover them? please help I really dont want to lose them *hugs pumpkins tightly* :lol:

We have got a little plastic outside storage thingy, but A) it would be cramped and B) wont it get hot inside with the sun hitting it?

thanks in advance! :)

keep them as cold as possible, me personally i keep them under a tarp which is left out in the cold (regardless of temp cause it doesnt get tooo cold around here) and then i set up some barriers for the dew in the monring with sheets and other tarps :) hope that helps
