Butternut squash 2014
Our total butternut
squash harvest this year
was 27.
We like to get them nice and
clean before storing
them for the Winter.

when to pick
Is there a specific time that you recommend when it's good or bad to pick butternut squashes? We were just doing some major garden work yesterday, and stood to look at our 7 or 8 butternuts, wondering at what point they need to come off the vines.

When to harvest butternut squash
Stephen --- Here are some butternut harvesting tips. That said, we jumped the gun a bit this year and harvested the butternuts before some were 100% mature because it's been so wet that I was worried about them rotting (and because whatever usually kills our vines did them in a bit early this year). So, use your best judgment, but in a perfect world, wait until they're all a rich tan.
