How To Cure Your Pumpkins:
Cure your pumpkin properly and it will become the best you have every eaten.
What you are trying to do is hardened off the skin and turn the fruit an even colour.
The pumpkin must sound hollow when you tap it and the skin shine will come off if you rub it.
All you got to do is harvest when the plant dies right back.
Only store sound ones.
Put the fruit somewhere for 10-14 days at 26-29 degrees C
After this store at 7 degrees C until use.
I know it is not easy to find somewhere at 26-29C is not easy, however I tuck mine away in a corner of my sitting room and move to the hall way for the 7C bit.
It seems to work for me.
A shed or a garage is not suitably because they will get too warm in the daytime and too cold at night.
