How do you know when to pick squash?
Online Answer
Harvest when fruits are full size and the rinds are the color desired because they will not continue to ripen off the vine. Rind should be firm and glossy. Leave squash on stems for better storing and pick before fall frost. When you harvest, cut stems with a sharp knife, leaving at least an inch of stem..

Well-Known Member. The trichromes will continue to mature hence why most say harvest at 10% amber. I believe the plant is still alive for 2-3,days after chop, at least marginally, but do not qoute me on that. If you let it dry out it will make it dry hang quicker but you don't want quicker, you want a nice slow dry..
