Hello

I'm new to this site and new to gardening. I have a butternut squash
that has taken over my very small plot. I have a few small ones, and
one large one. Only thing is, I have no idea when to pick them. The
large one is still green. Will it turn colour? Is there anything I
should be looking out for?

Any advice gratefully received.

When the squash turns golden and the stem gers hard it's ready to
pick.
