Don’t crave that carved pumpkin this Halloween
Linda Bigley of the Linn County Extension says carved pumpkins harbor bacteria after carving and should be trash or composted. Pumpkins left uncarved can last to Thanksgiving if solid with no rot, but varieties bred for jack-o-lanterns may not fit pie needs.
