When is the time to carve a pumpkin? I have never done it before but am going to this year... It's probably not to soon now.. When do you guys do them?
Got any pictures to post here of pumpkins you have carved in the past?

We accidentally grew a pumpkin patch this year, so I guess we're carving our own.

They rot within 3-4 days of carving, so you'll want to hold off until just a few days before Halloween...unless of course, you want to do more than one batch of Jack-o-lanterns this year.
This is what we did last year.

You can extend the life of the carved pumpkin by rubbing Vaseline on the carved flesh and the insides, thus keeping oxygen from getting to it and slowing the rate of decay.

I had one a friend gave me a few years ago, I let it sit in the backyard and get warped by the sun, I thought it ended up looking better....
But, I shale hold off. The one I've got is rather small, but I've seen some huge ones latley, I might get a few of them as well...

Easily remedied, my friend. Why not go grab one today.
Only thing more fun than carving one is smashing it afterward:D

You let last year's pumpkin rot until it falls off the porch into the grass.

How soon a pumpkin rots depends on the weather in your area. If it's getting cool where you are you can carve a pumpkin a few weeks before Halloween and you'll still have a cool looking jack when the big night arrives.

We have always done it the day of halloween. But we, as in not me. I hate the smell of pumpkin & I will not touch pumpkin guts. My ideal jack o lanterns are the fake ones that you can but at the stores.
BTW awesome pics

we buy our pumpkins early and sit them out on the front porch for the whole month, then carve them up on Halloween. it may sound silly, but I like the idea of the neighbors getting used to seeing these pumpkins sitting on the porch, then Halloween night those same pumpkins are all carved up. then the next day they are gone (into the trashcan). in my mind it's like those pumpkins are just sitting there waiting for their big night, then it comes and, next thing they know, BAM! they're in the garbage next to cold coffee grounds.

Carving pumpkins is a pain in the ass! I usually set them on the porch for a couple weeks then carve them a few days before Halloween or something.
D -post pics of your first carving OK???

We thought it would be funny to line it with paper, deodrant and some of that white stuff you put on barbecues. It wasn't.
