If the pumpkins i planted are not completely ripe by halloween cam i still carve them?

Answer 1

You can carve a pumpkin that's not completely ripe. They'll start to decompose a lot quicker than fully ripe ones. That might even add to the spooky -creepy effect.

Try rubbing petroleum jelly, lemon juice or some cooking oil on the insides & freshly cut parts to make them last longer.

Answer 2

Sure, I've seen green pumpkins carved for Halloween to look like Frankenstein and it looked cool :) Now, eating them would be a different story, but for carving, there's no problem with them still being green. It might be a little harder to use a knife on these, so be careful, but no reason why you can't.

Answer 3

Don't even think about it! There is no way a knife will penetrate the skin of an unripe pumpkin, Tard.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Yes, but they wouldn't be good to eat.
