  • Butternut squash - what to do with under ripe ones (etc)?

    Hi again

    Following on from my "Is this a butternut squash plant?!?" thread, I now have a couple of questions about my ACTUAL butternut squashes

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I am going away on Friday for a week and wondering whether I need to harvest these before I go.

    Also, from what my very inexperienced eyes tell me, some of them are under ripe. If that is indeed the case, is there anything I can do to help mature them? Are they still edible when eaten under ripe?

    Here are a few pics. The last one is of the ripest one we have and I think that looks good to go. The others are less ripe and also quite small (around fist sized).

    Many thanks

    Max

        The one that has been living on my window ledge (it gets alot of sun) for the past few weeks is slowly ripening.
