Winter squash has a long season, requiring 80-120 frost-free days to reach maturity, so it is usually transplanted in northern climates. It can also be directly seeded once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach 70°F. Start transplants indoors 3-4 weeks before the last risk of frost. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 85-95°F. Harvest when fruits are full size and have a deep rich color and hard rinds that can't be easily dented with a fingernail. Changing the color of the "ground spot" from yellow to cream, gold, or orange is another general indicator of ripeness. To harvest, cut stem at least 2" from the fruit: a short or broken stem can lead to rot. Cure after harvest by keeping in a warm, dry location for a few days.
