Munchkin squash
« on: August 20, 2012, 00:24 »
I was given a couple of plants. One is trying to escape the plot and the other is busy producing lots of mini pumpkins.

Do I leave these to ripen like other squashes or do they need cutting and eating like cougettes?

Harvesting: Harvest August through October. Around 95 days.
Pumpkins can be harvested whenever they are a deep, solid colour and the rind is hard. Harvest in late September or early October, before heavy frosts. Fruits subjected to a hard frost will not keep, so harvest should be completed before cold weather.
Store them in a moderately warm, dry place

Thanks for that info.

Has anyone actually grown them and has hands on experience of what they are like?
