How do you know when to harvest spaghetti squash?  There are two easy signs which are. . .1)  It will turn white to pale yellow to yellow.  2)  The vine will wither and turn from green to cream/beige.  If your spaghetti squash meets the two signs, then cut the stem by leaving about two inches attached to the squash.

Don’t forget that spaghetti squash is a winter squash so it matures at a slower rate then summer squash.  Winter squash typically matures around 90 days after sowing or transplanting.   I previously explained how to sow and grow winter squash – please click on the link!

You can cure the spaghetti squash for a few days in the sun and then store in a cool spot for about 3 months.   As for eating spaghetti squash, please check out this link.  Hope you enjoy!
