How do I determine when my spaghetti squash are ready to be picked, and will they continue to ripen once picked?
Last Updated: April 22, 2008
Spaghetti squash should be allowed to mature on the vine. Pick squashes when:
a. Fruit skin resists puncturing with fingernail and
b. Fruit skin turns from whitish to yellowish.
Cut mature spaghetti squashes with 1 to 2 inches of stem attached. You can store them at 55 degrees F for later use, but don't allow them to touch each other in storage.
No, they do not continue to ripen in storage.
