T & T ~ Bleach your pumpkins




It's October! Time for pumpkins, pumpkins & more pumpkin!  My kids love all things pumpkin. 



They want the little ones, the big ones, to carve them, to play with them, to show them to all their neighborhood friends...it's chaos and somewhere between the beginning of fall and Halloween, those bad boys begin to rot! 

                           Ugh!!

So I tried something new. This year we bleached our pumpkins - so far, so good. 

If you're not going to carve them, just wash your pumpkins (and let them soak for about 10 minutes) in a solution of 1 Tbsp bleach & 1 gallon of water. 

If you are carving, do all of that first then let your pumpkin soak in the same 1T/1G solution. 


What do you do to keep your pumpkins lasting all season?
