Hi Norvona,

You asked an interesting question concerning pumpkins. Based on my 
experience in growing pumpkins in my garden each summer, I know that 
pumpkins can keep for 4-6 months if they are stored under dry conditions at 
temperatures of 40-50 F. I have ocassionally seen pumpkins that have been 
stored for 9 months. Good luck with your pumpkins.
