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.
