The Perfect Pumpkin: How to Choose

Selecting a pumpkin at an October pumpkin patch can be a joyful but challenging experience, given the sheer number of varieties available. Here are some tips to ensure you choose the best pumpkin:

  1. Inspect the Skin: Look for pumpkins with smooth, blemish-free skin. This indicates a healthy pumpkin!
  2. Check the Stem: A firm, sturdy stem is a sign of freshness. Avoid pumpkins with soft or broken stems.
  3. Size Matters: Depending on your needs (whether for carving, cooking, or decoration), consider the size that best suits your purpose.
  4. Color is Key: For traditional pumpkin carving, opt for deep orange pumpkins. If you're looking for variety, consider greens, whites, or even blues!
