Take a look at this Pumpkin Carving Tip. Did you know you can extend the life of your pumpkin with a few simple steps?

Jack-o’Lantern Preservation Steps:

1. Hallow out your pumpkin making sure to remove as much of the stringy fibers and sizes on the inside as possible. A spoon helps well with this.
2. Rinse your pumpkin out with water
3. Carve your pumpkin
4. In a 5 gallon bucket, mix 1 gallon part water to 3 teaspoons bleach. I recommend 3 gal to 1 tsp.’
5. Dip your jack-o’-lantern in the solution for a full 2 to 3 minutes – your pumpkin will float, so be sure to dip it additionally with your hands to get it covered in solution.
6. Dry off your pumpkin as much as possible to prevent rot.

This is great if you want to carve a pumpkin early.
