How do you know when a pumpkin is ripe and ready for harvest? 🎃 There are a few things to look for in the pumpkin patch, like a hard stem and firm skin, but some seasoned pumpkin-pickers swear by the ol' "thump test" to determine if the inside is hollow.

And If you want your pumpkin to last months instead of weeks, cure it by keeping the pumpkins in a dry, warm place such as a sunroom, your doorstep, a dry part of your garden, or a sunny windowsill for at least 2 weeks. Then, carefully turn the fruits upside down and leave them for another 2 weeks.

Turnip lanterns were used before the modern pumpkin jack-o’-lantern! In ancient Ireland, revelers hollowed out large turnips (or potatoes or beets) and carved them into a demon’s face to frighten away spirits. They lit the turnips from within with a candle or a piece of smoldering coal 🎃🎃🎃

They then placed the lanterns in the windows and doorways of their homes, believing that the carvings would scare off evil spirits and welcome deceased loved ones inside. Irish immigrants arriving in the New World during the early 1800s found the plentiful, easier-to-carve pumpkins to be ready substitutes for turnips.

But if you’d like to carve some creepy turnips, try it the old-fashioned way! Learn more Halloween lore at Almanac.com/origins-halloween-traditions
