Pick a Good Pumpkin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Start with one that\u2019s firm, evenly colored, and free of bruises or soft spots. Healthy pumpkins last longer\u2014especially under the Texas sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Prep It Right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If carving, scoop out every bit of pulp and seeds, and cut the hole from the bottom to help the pumpkin stay strong.<br \/>\nFor whole pumpkins, rinse them in a mild vinegar-and-water mix to remove bacteria before setting them out.<a href=\"https:\/\/houstonrpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AdobeStock_1640168353-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5664\" src=\"https:\/\/houstonrpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AdobeStock_1640168353-300x168.jpeg\" alt=\"Keep your pumpkins fresh \" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
