Keeping Pumpkins Experiment - February

Posted on Feb. 16, 2007 at 8:36 AM

Last Fall I wrote about an experiment my family does each year. After we are done with our pumpkins for Fall decorating we put them somewhere on our back patio and ... well, they just sit there looking pretty for as long as they will last. Our pumpkins from 2005 lasted until the middle of Summer 2006. I do live in Arizona and the Summers highs are always in the hundreds so lasting that long always surprises me a little. The pumpkins below were bought in October 2006 and I took these pictures this morning, Feruary 16, 2007. They are in great shape, still firm and looking much like they did when we brought them home.

I remember you posting about your 2005 pumpkins and I just showed my mom this newer version. She just returned from Arizona, and was surprised to see that pumpkins can "survive" for this long! You are never too old to learn something new!
