Q.Spaghetti Squash

Anonymous added on August 17, 2011 | Answered

I have a few spaghetti squash questions.

1) I bought seed for spaghetti squash that had a picture of the mature squash on the package; however, my spaghetti squash never seemed to turn yellow. Instead, they are all a very light, light green. Is there something wrong with them? What can I do to change the color?

2) Is spaghetti squash considered a summer or a winter squash?

3) When is the correct time to harvest them?

1) They may not be ripe yet. Give them a little more time on the vine and they should turn yellow.

2) It is a winter squash.
