Pumpkin Longevity: A Patch to Porch Colorado Guide

You've probably seen beautiful pumpkin displays and thought, "That looks amazing, but there's no way it will last!" It's a common fear, and honestly, a valid one—if you're thinking about a carved pumpkin. The moment you cut into a pumpkin, you've broken its natural defenses and exposed its insides to the elements and bacteria. This is why a carved jack-o'-lantern often only lasts about a week. However, a whole, un-carved pumpkin is a completely different story.
Built-in Defenses
Think of a pumpkin's thick skin like its personal suit of armor. This natural, waxy barrier is designed to protect it from moisture, bacteria, and pests. A pumpkin left intact is incredibly resilient and can handle a variety of weather conditions. This natural protection is the number one reason why whole pumpkins last so much longer than their carved counterparts.
Our Secret to a Long-Lasting Pumpkin Display
At Patch to Porch Colorado, we don't just pick any pumpkins; we curate them. We follow a careful process to ensure your display stays vibrant for months.
Hand-Selection: We meticulously inspect every pumpkin for blemishes, bruises, or soft spots. If a pumpkin has a scratch or a weak point, it won't make the cut. Our high standards mean you get only the healthiest, most durable pumpkins for your display.
A Clean Slate: We wash each pumpkin before it arrives at your home. This might seem like a small detail, but it's a critical step. Washing removes surface bacteria that can lead to premature decay, giving your pumpkin a fresh start and a longer life.
This extra care and attention is how our pumpkins often last through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and well into December.
The Takeaway
When you order a custom pumpkin patch from Patch to Porch Colorado, you're not just getting pumpkins for a weekend; you're getting a stunning, long-lasting fall display. You can order early in the season and enjoy the beauty of your front porch pumpkin patch for months. You no longer need to worry about waiting until the last minute to decorate—the time to create your perfect pumpkin display is now so don't hesitate to place your order!
