Choosing the Right Pumpkin
With so many options at The Pumpkin Ranch, you may wonder how to choose the best pumpkin. Here are some tips to consider:
- Look for a Firm Skin: A sturdy pumpkin is less likely to have bruises or soft spots.
- Check the Color: Vibrant orange generally indicates ripeness, but don't overlook the variety of hues for decoration.
