Will my squash ripen
« on: October 01, 2018, 21:59 »
Have had an amazing crop this year of pumpkins, squash and courgettes  :)
Never managed this before and really pleased as other crops been very hit and miss.
Only issue is that my spaghetti squash and pumkins are all green but I think that I need to pick them as leaves dying off and cold at night.
Will they ripen still if I put them in the sun in my conservatory or greenhouse?
If they don't ripen, are they still edible?

They'll ripen anywhere warm, I've got some on the window-ledges the rest are just on trays in the bedrooms.
I think the greenhouse will be too cold at night this year - mine has been down to 3 or 4C in the past week.
