I just read then you cut them out to mix 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar in a spray bottle, give it a shake and spray all cut surfaces inside and out. This kills the pumpkin-rotting bacteria and they last longer. I am an ole Granny and do not do this anymore but thought you ladies with little ones or your friends might need this info. Ruth

Will try that this year. I still love to get my hands in the gooey mess we love fresh roasted pumpkin seeds it is the reason the girls still pick pumpkins.
My advice for picking pumpkins w/kids came out of a necessity because of a back injury but has lasted through many years. Tell the kids they can have the biggest pumpkin they can carry. It works until they figure out that if you help your sister you can get a bigger pumpkin just my 2 cents!
