Title: Butternut squash
Post by: Paulines7 on August 14, 2006, 09:20:37
Help again please folks!

I have a butternut squash that has grown to full size but is still light green.  Should I harvest it now or wait until it turns light brown?  I don't want to cook it and find it inedible as the squash was in my "Bitter Squash" post.   :-\

Leave it! I don't harvest mine until late September/ early October. It will be worth waiting for  ;D

Yes Pauline, just leave it. Sorry to hear about the bitter squash, not sure what went wrong there.  ???
