If you haven't picked out your Pumpkin for Hallowe'en yet, don't worry. If you pick it out too soon, it could go rotten before Hallowe'en anyway! That's what happened to me last year, and we ended up having to chuck them out into the green bin and buy some more.
When you do go to pick it out, keep this in mind if you want it to last for as long as possible: Pick out a pumpkin that is dark orange instead of a lighter-coloured one. A darker pumpkin means that it hasn't ripened yet, and will last a lot longer. Pumpkins that are a lighter have already ripened and will likely begin to rot sooner.
