How many weeks prior to Halloween do you buy your real pumpkins?
Just curious, I usually buy mine within a week of Halloween but feel the patches/groceries stores have been picked over. Plus I've seen a few at the local Whole Foods that are begging me to buy them...
I live in Austin, TX so tyically warmer climate and no basement to store them. Just wondering how long they "typically" last. I had un uncarved one in Portland,OR I left on the back porch and it lasted 3-4 months but it was out of the sun and in pretty cold temps.
For carved jack o lanterns I'm lucky if I get to enjoy them for a week, sometimes just a few days. Ah the heat and humidity of Texas...

Not an artist, just a dude that has always loved Halloween and carving jack-o-lanterns.
