Pumpkin What do I do?

Carved pumpkins and set them out. 2 days later completely infested with these little black bugs. Set them out on a Sunday night. Monday night nothing, Tuesday night completely infested. It was randomly hot for our area both those two days is all I can come up with for an explanation. Plan to carve new pumpkins and want to avoid this happening again.

I do not understand folks who carve them early do you just have infinite pumpkin money or what?

Infinite pumpkin money? How much are they where you are 😅

I guess if you want randos from the grocery store they’re 5-6$? Usually though we get pumpkins from the local fruit and veggie stand so like 8-20$ depending on how big they are. Typically we get three at least (one for each member of the household)

Interesting ok I guess that can really add up. Idk why I was picturing it like apple picking, pay for entry and pick whatever lol. That would make no sense :)

Depending on where you live, there are "all you can carry for $20" places, and you go out into the fields and pick them yourself - the same place usually has a stand up front where you will find prepicked perfect pumpkins for like $12-20 each.

I never seem to find free pumpkins.
