Question of the Day
Anytime before the first hard frost. A variety called hard-shelled maximas can handle light frost, but all others should be harvested before the temperature drops to 32°F. As harvest time approaches, pinch out plant leaders and flowers, and remove small green pumpkins that have no chance of ripening. This will help the remaining pumpkins along.

About the Almanac
What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? For more than 225 years, we've been the go-to resource for everything under the Sun-including the Moon! We may be "old," but in fact we're new every year-and even every day.
Welcome to the Almanac's HQ! We're located in the tiny village of Dublin, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its best-complete with Old Glory high atop her pole, a church steeple, the town hall-and New England weather!
