Have a few pumpkins that are orange and a few that are yellow. Are the yellow ones still growing? Are the orange ones done? How can I keep them until Halloween? Should I bring them into the garage. They are all around 200 ponds and my kids love them.

If they've stopped growing in size, and the skin looks like it's begiining to harden, etc, then they're probably done. To keep them around, best bet would be to harvest them and store them in a cool, dry place until halloween. Maybe even wipe the skin down with a 10% bleach solution, then dry it off. They should last a while. Why don't you bring one to a weigh-off? 200lbs isn't too bad, might be fun.
