How do you know when to pick winter squash? Obviously when the vine starts to die back, when the stem on your fruit starts to brown, when there is a golden consistency in the color of your winter squash. Take your fingernail, that rind should be hard to penetrate. If you want them to last long and store well - up to 6 months if stored correctly. We want to keep that stem intact. The stem is going to keep bacteria from entering the squash. Bacteria will cause your squash to rot prematurally and that's how you know when it's time to harvest your winter squash.
