I assume the best way is to go off of date on the packaging for maturity days, but with the weather here it’s kinda hard to determine, they were stunted for a few weeks before even doing anything.
Could frost here anytime and covering these isn’t really an option! Any advice would be appreciated!

For spaghetti squash, you hold it to your ear and listen. If you can hear the sounds of Sicily’s La Vucciria, you’re golden.
Sorry lol
I just wanted a place holder so I could come back and check later, I’m curious myself.
So if I hear the Imperial March it still has a week or so?
At least lol
I don’t know if it differs but when I grew them last year it was when they turned yellow.
Note that they might turn a different color, but color change is a good indicator.
For example, the butternut squash we’re growing turn fairly bright orange.
I wonder if spaghetti squash will ripen off vine if OP needs them to due to an impending frost. We pick our pumpkins and butternut squash after they’ve started changing, but before they’re fully there.
Thank you!
Thats a good question, I’ll see about that. I’ve got a nice little “cold room” I was planning on using some sand beds for root vegetables already, so wouldn’t be hard to make a shelf for gourds.
Yup, that’s how I’ve always done it.
Wicked, I like when it’s simple.
all the varieties I had so far turn yellow when they are ripe
Thank you, sounds simple enough.
