How long does a pumpkin last?

Today is the 19th. I want to get some pumpkins tomorrow from the pumpkin patch and then keep until we carve them on the 29th or 30th. Will the pumpkins stay good uncarved for 10 days or so?

yes
U can buy it now but don’t carve it till Halloween or the day before. To give it a shiny look, rub the pumpkin w/ vegetable oil.
Uncarved, they should easily last 10 days. Keep them in a cool, but not freezing location until they are ready to carve. A basement or garage works well.
Yes, uncarved pumpkins last the whole month if left outside in the cold.
