I've popped this california based pumpkin grwers farm site in as it's pretty useful & altogether, planting, storeage, recipes, gourd & squash types..

i'm trying to find defined temps recommended for different areas, so will pop more up as I find it.


Now this next link is for uk'ers ...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ ... g-pumpkins
which basically recommends (though it's a reporter story not necessarily fact (alwways look at your source) storeage @ 13 degrees or a bit lower..
(i'm storing mine in my office space @ 13-16 degrees currently but need to stick up a roller blind to help with light issues.

Next is a good & comprehensive link from a PROPER horticulteral source, from Iowa, but I'd say in the main applicablew wherever you are, after reading the main article there are further reading links for related aspects..
