If you’re planning on carving your pumpkin this weekend – wait!
A lot of people will be finding that perfect pumpkin to carve this weekend – but wait until late next week to carve it. Most pumpkins start to sag a bit after 4 or 5 days once they’ve been hallowed out. Two days prior to Halloween, or your party should be fine if you keep the carved pumpkin in a cool dry spot.
You can double the fun with your pumpkin by drawing faces or designs on it for now, and then washing it off when you’re ready to carve. Don’t forget to put petroleum on all the carved edges to prevent them from shriveling up.
