I decided that I would wait until the day before Halloween to pick all the pumpkins that I grew this summer. They usually are able to last through the outside elements due to their tough skin. This past Thursday I went outside and picked all six of them and it wasn't that difficult. The plants were dead at this point and all I had to do was break them of the vine.
I also carved a couple of them for the holiday using a simple tracing pattern that you can purchase in any store. I think they came out pretty good.
Today I also picked the very last of the pole beans that have been producing beans until the end of the season. I was surprised that they would last this long since they started out very poorly in the very beginning of the season.
The plants are dead so I am sure that I will not be getting any more beans. Here you can see for yourself.
