Hi,
I have a butternut squash plant that is still going strong, after getting off to a late start (it was a replacement plant for a slug-nanged one) it has finally got two good sized fruits on it.
I know that the squash plant itself will probably start dying when the first frost hits, but will the actual fruit be affected if I leave it outside until the frost happens?
Just that frost is forecast for Thursday and I don't want the fruit to pop its clogs along with the plant... but I want to leave it on the plant as long as I possibly can, to ripen fully!
