I still have my Halloween pumpkin from last year.
I bought him in mid-October 2008, never carved him, rested him by my (non-working) fireplace on the cool tile floors, and he's still as fresh and firm as if I'd brought him home yesterday.
He continually reminds me of Patchy Pumpkin, but I just refer to him as Mr. Pumpkin. I'm going to keep him around indefinitely, and only throw him out should he start to rot. However, I expect he'll simply dry up in which case he'll be around forever as I'm an extremely, oddly sentimental person. Decades from now he'll probably be rested on my old lady desk.

oh WOW! I didn't know pumpkins could even last that long! No wonder they were such popular crops to cultivate ... they would keep plenty of food available through long snowy winters!
