4 Tips to Help Your Pumpkin Last Longer
It seems like every year is different as far as how long our pumpkins will last. Last year I swear it was only a few days before our pumpkins were already decaying and turning to mush. This year our pumpkins are doing much better but it was because I got some tips from gobankingrates.com that really helped. Before I clicked on the link with that website address I thought it was going to be spam, but these tips really helped.
- 1
Clean Your Pumpkin With Bleach
I had never heard of this before but after you get all the seeds out of your pumpkin wipe it down with a bleach and water mixture to delay any rotting to the pumpkin. - 2
Fully Dry Your Pumpkin
Before leaving your pumpkin outside to brave the elements, make sure your pumpkin is fully dry to avoid any mold. - 3
Soak in Cold Water
If your pumpkin starts decaying, put it in a cold bath for an hour or two and that often brings the pumpkin back to life. - 4
Don't Carve Your Pumpkin
