I got the spaghetti squash out of my garden about mid August. I bought the butternut squash at the farmers market in October. I had 2 of each and kept forgetting to make something with them. On New Years Day I thought I'd open up one of each. Delicious!
These are the final 2 squash (see the snow in background). I am trying to wait till end of February just to see how long squash can really last. I had no idea that they might last all winter and into spring but it appears as if they could survive. The spaghetti squash has turned yellow and gets a deeper gold as time passes. The butternut squash as a few brown spots on it- but looks great. Evidently squash can improve in flavor as it ages-- as I was told by some friends last night. They also said squash is really good for you.
I had no idea the shelf life of squash. I think it might turn into one of my top 5 veggies.....

Just curious - how are you storing the squash?
They've been on the kitchen counter. Different parts of the kitchen counter depending on how cluttered one area is looking.
