Storing Pumpkins

Dear Aunt Daisy, I think I can help the listener who ‘wants to know how to keep her pumpkins. My husband grows them every

year, so I am sure the following method will be of use. After the pumpkins have matured, cut them off the vine with a stalk about three or four inches long, and stack them up on their sides. The secret of keeping pumpkins is not to allow any moisture to lodge in the stalk cavity or the crown. We piled ours on the outside roof of a shed, and they survived the sun and rain for a whole season; when pumpkins were at their dearest price in the markets, we were able to eat ours in comfort, without

feeling we were eating money-

M.
