Pumpkins
Pumpkins and squash must be gathered before frost. Place the fruits in
a sunny spot, no two touching, avoid bruising at all times. Cover with
canvas, blankets or burlap in cold weather. When the shells
become hard -in two or three weeks- remove to warm, dry quarters; for instance
near the heater in a dry cellar. So handled they should keep till
mid-winter or later. Never store in a damp or a cold place or they
will quickly decay.
