Ep. 57 - When to Pick Your Pumpkins and other winter squashes (and how to make them last!)

Did you plant pumpkins this year? What about winter squashes? One of the questions I usually get around this time of year about pumpkins and other winter squash is, “how do I know when it’s ready to pick?” There’s nothing worse than waiting all season long for that huge vine to flower and produce these beautiful fruit, only to harvest it way too early because it looked ready or leave it out there too long and the bugs or ground rot gets to it. So, today we’re going to talk really quickly about the best time to harvest your winter squashes, including pumpkins, how to properly display them so they don’t go bad so quickly, and how to store them long-term so you can enjoy them all winter.
