Sometimes
people pick the corn stalks too green; make sure yours are good and done. Totally
dead and dry ones will stand up better and not be prone to bending where they
are bundled.
When
picking out pumpkins, gourds, or squash make sure they have their stems intact.
A stem will add a good month of life in most cases to whatever it’s attached
to.
Where
the stem attaches is the most vulnerable, the most open to the elements, part
of the pumpkin, gourd, or squash. If removed it becomes a sore that is not
covered by a Band-Aid, and the first place it starts to rot.
Keep
this in mind if you store Winter Squash; leave a good inch or two of stem on
each one and you’ll double or even triple their shelf life.

The description at the beginning is nice. The picture at the end does justice to all the suspense created prior to it. The only drawback in my opinion is the lack of text despite such a promising start.
