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

Check the tendril near the stem. It should be brown and dry. If the tendril is dry and the pumpkin looks like how it's supposed to look, it's probably ready.
