When I moved to Texas, I learned that unlike in New England, jack-o'-lanterns do not last long in this environment. When I was growing up in New England a carved pumpkin would last a couple of weeks. Well in West Texas, a carved pumpkin lasts days.
Last Friday, I purchased a solid, well developed pumpkin. When I carved it on Monday night, it was already getting soft in spots. I have put it out with a candle for the last couple of night. It is actually holding up better than I thought it would.
