It really depends on the area you live in. Usually pumpkins are harvested in October. A pumpkin should be left on the vine until its desired color is reached. Once the pumpkin is picked, the color stops developing.You can tell if a pumpkin is ripe by thumping the pumpkin and by examining its skin. If it makes a hollow sound when thumped, the pumpkin is ready to be picked. Additionally, the pumpkin is ripe if the skin feels hard, almost like a shell. When you press your fingernail into a ripe pumpkin, it should resist puncture.

∙ 14y agoPumpkins should always be picked when it is orange of course. It also is good to pick it when it is possible to make a jack-o-lantern. If you want to make it bigger, then let it stay on until it doesn't get bigger but seems to shrink and wrinkle then it is not going to get any bigger.

I think you should carve a pumpkin a day or two early.

I don't think you can. I spoke to a pumpkin farmer in April about buying a couple of pumpkins, and he said it was impossible as the harvest isn't until September. However you might get them early. Early is in July if you are lucky. The only pumpkin you can get all year round is canned pumpkin.
