If they're carved they are gone after Halloween. My wife decorates for fall so they stay till Thanksgiving unless rotting.

Got 3 carved in front yard and all are still solid. Taking 2 out Tuesday but the third one was carved to celebrate my sons football team in the state playoffs. They won last night so that pumpkin will stay in the yard until the team is done.

One of my field pumpkins stayed on the front porch til feb first last year if that counts, my neighbors also slow down as they go by to make sure im not growing anything else now too, atleast after the pumpkin sat there that long.

I leave mine till the teenagers steal them and smash them on the street. Lasted almost 3 hours this year. They couldn't get the big one fast enough so they just broke it.
