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. Al Bushway Professor of Food Science
