Pumpkin help

[Flump]

Yep, I picked mine four weeks ago (for a show), they were green with small areas of orange, I put them in our garage in one of those cardboard fruit box/trays that you can pick up at supermarket checkouts. Now they are orange and the skin is nice and firm (just wish they were a month bigger thats all ).

Cool, so all I need to do now is guess when to 'snip em' so they'll ripen off
