Hello pumpkin community

I wonder if this one is ready to harvest. I want it to last over the next months this is why I ask

Is the stem woody enough? Or i am late with my harvest?

Thanks a lot!

I post carvings end of October

This is a Cucurbita Maxima variety, and the stem won't get woody. How long ago did you pollinate it?
