will butternuts ripen off the vine?


not that i can tell. they're still
edible, eat the least developed first.
cure the rest.

in the batch we just finished (harvested
last Oct/Nov) there were a few that were
not fully developed (the seeds were not
finished) but they stored and cooked up
fine.

I cut them off the vine too early I think.
