But NOT for squashes, or even marrows! You need to keep those as
dry as you can (in the UK), with free air circulation, and well
above freezing. And don't be afraid of leaving at least squashes
in sunlight over the winter. However, any that haven't already
ripened enough to develop a hard skin, or are damaged, should be
eaten fairly soon.
