I think this has been a crazy year for a lot of us gardenders. I grow butternut squash up my kids' old swingset, lined with concrete reinforcing wire. They usually do great. But this year they were VERY slow. One grew before any of the others and is large. but all the others are smaller and they grew later in the season. I'll leave them up there as long as possible. The temp at night is getting in the low 40's (central Indiana), and I'm keeping my eye on it, so they don't freeze. But.......are there certain signs that will tell me that they're "old enough" to taste decent? Thanks!
