Help I accidentally broke the stem off my pumpkin when trying to move it is there anyway to save it till Halloween?

Maybe. Set it in a cool dry spot out of the direct sun and hope for the best.

My wife hangs her gourds in mesh laundry bags to dry in the shed.

Falling off the stem is what happens when winter squash are ripe, & yours looks either ripe or nearly there.

I wonder if this pumpkin did survive until Halloween? I suspect so, if it was kept in a cool, dry place. It looks like it may be the cultivar known as Cucurbita x 'One Too Many'.
