Hello, harvest time!
.
Some of the main crops to harvest this month are pumpkins, gourds, and winter squash. You’ll know that the fruits are ready to harvest when the vines and leaves begin to yellow and die back. Fruits will reach their full color (orange, white, dark green, etc.) and the skin should resist puncturing if you push your nail into it. Harvest in the South before any hard or heavy frost, which will destroy the fruits.
