When is a pumpkin ripe?

Harvest pumpkins from September to October, at least before the first frost. A pumpkin is ripe when the stems start to dry out and show small wrinkles / cracks. The pumpkin has stopped growing for some time and has now also become slightly duller. Normally the color will become more intense.

Harvesting Pumpkins

Leave about 5 to 8 cm stems on the pumpkin when harvesting. Harvest in dry conditions and try not to bruise or hurt the pumpkins. Keep in a dry, frost-free place, do not stack the pumpkins on top of each other.
