In the Pumpkin Patch

1. Look for a pumpkin that is completely orange. Partially green pumpkins might not ripen any further.

2. Size is an important factor. Medium pumpkins are best for pumpkin carving. Small pumpkins are better for cooking.   

3. Do not pick a pumpkin that is too big for you to carry.

4. Does the shade of orange matter? If so, there are hundreds of varieties, with many different shades of orange.

5. Selecting the shape is a matter of personal preference. Some like them tall. Others, round.

6. Often, people select shapes to fit the carving patterns they will use. Pick your carving pattern beforehand.

7. The stem gives character to a pumpkin. Do not lift or carry a pumpkins by the stem. The stem will likely break.

8. A ripe pumpkin has a hard shell that does not dent or scratch easily when pressing on it with a thumbnail. Do this test on the back or bottom of the fruit, never on the face.

9. Examine the entire pumpkin carefully for soft spots. If you find even one soft spot, go on to the next pumpkin.

10. Check for cracks and splits. If you find one, examine it to be sure it is not turning into a soft spot or has mold inside of the crack.

11. Look for bugs and insects. More specifically, look for holes in the pumpkin. They indicate insect problems.

12. Bring a small wagon with you, making it easier to haul pumpkins.

13. Wear boots or old sneakers. Pumpkin patches tend to be wet and muddy.

14. Pick a pumpkin that you can carry back with you.

15. Bring a sharp knife or pruner.

16. Cut the vine on either side of the stem. At home, feel free to trim off the remaining pieces of vine. Be sure to cut the stem at the perfect spot.

There is a skeleton inside you right now.

In that moment, there was only silence.
