Reply To: Harvesting Butternut Squash

[Christine]

The stalks are still ok so I’ll leave a bit. mind you a couple that broke off accidentally are doing fine on the windowsill.
Another question (sorry I only started gardening this year so there will be plenty of stupid questions!) How come the squash all grew the same butter nut squash? I planted these before I discovered your site and books but I thought you said on one of your videos that winter squash will not grow true and you end up with lots of different ones if you save seed. Maybe I picked it up wrong? Thank you for all the advice here by the way you are now my guru!
