Do pumpkins turn to mush in 4 months?
OK so in October a couple weeks before Halloween we bought a couple of pumpkins. For one reason or another we never got them out to carve. So my baby bit it again! Broke down for the ump-teenth time. That is when we bought the new van. So the car was in the shop...slowly being paid for. (An $800 car fix is hard to pay for when you just bought a new one) Well about a week ago we realized the pumpkins were STILL in the car! The car had been fixed and sitting in the car fixers backyard. In the sun. We thought we were in big fat trouble. In the past I have seen them rot, stink, and turn into a liquidy-mush. Well our tax return came on Friday, so I went and paid the car off. This morning we went to go get my baby. Did she stink with rotted pumpkin? NOOOO!!! Nice and hard like the day we bought them. WOOO-HOOO!!!

No way!? That's awesome! Are you going to carve them for Easter? I think that would be totally awesome! The only Easter jack-o-lanterns ever!
I was to scared to open them, I didnt want to press my luck....so in the dumpster they went!
LUCKY!
funny, yeah, smart move throwing them away, i bet they were knarly on the inside!
All I know about pumpkins after a period of time is how sick they look when they have been left on the side yard in a wheelbarrow after Thanksgiving. Waiting to be taken out and shot but the snow and freeze get to them. And then, you couldnt pick one up to take it anywhere to shoot it cause you are lucky if you can get it into the trash! Yes this is a yearly event in our sideyard.
Lucky...so did you finally get around to carving them or are you going to stick them in a nice cool, dark spot and wait for this Halloween to roll around?
In the dumpster baby!
You are lucky! That could have had a huge disaster on your hand!
