I haven’t done mine yet but I’m going to do this

Anyone got any tips on how to stop them rotting quickly once carved?

Lemon juice is what I use to stop them rotting.

Ours are going to be done tomorrow, but I'm recreating this old one from a few years back so fingers crossed it'll look something like this: Halloween Wink Tardis

Assumed too early, are we ok carving? Will they last till weds?

There’s a few tips on Pinterest to keep carved pumpkins fresh. One I remember is to rub Vaseline onto the cut surface.

MeOldBamboo · 27/10/2018 20:04

This wasn’t easy...

No photo but I bathed one of mine in bleach one year and it made absolutely no difference to it rotting.
Think forecast is pretty cold though so that will help them keep their shape.

Soubriquet · 27/10/2018 20:14

Please don’t bleach them

When you’re finished with them, pop them in your garden for the wildlife to eat.

They love a bit of pumpkin.

I’m going to be putting mine out a back track where there are lots of squirrels. I have a murderous cat so I don’t want to encourage them to the garden

You can’t let animals feed on them if they are bleached

@ipswichwitch That Spider-Man one must have taken some doing! Utterly brilliant!

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/10/2018 21:36

MeOldBamboo it took ruddy ages, a fair bit of swearing and a medicinal gin after. That was the last year I let DS1 pick the design 😂
