Hello all
When it comes to curing pumpkins I’ve read that I either need to leave them out in the sun or wash them in a chlorine bleach and water mix. I don’t think the sun is that likely and I don’t like the sound of the latter. What’s the alternative?
Mateo, and others,
Please please do not believe everything you read, or hear.
There is a lot of nonsense, masquerading as advice. I mean a lot.
Question the source and check their reasons. From my experience, that is poisonous advice! And totally unnecessary.I keep saying, for squash and pumpkin its about dryness of skin, curing in sun is good if its sunny, otherwise in the warmth of a house up to 25-30C for two weeks.
Fair point.
Nonetheless, develop a questioning attitude and even if people sound as though they know what they are talking about, be sceptical.
I do not like saying that as I generally trust people and look for best motive, however internet forums in particular attract some interesting types!
Also in gardening there are often easier ways that are overlooked.
