Can I save any of my late blooming butternut squash

Question

We live in Wisconsin and we had a late start due to a cool, rainy spring. It is now three weeks into Aug. and I am still getting new fruit blooms. We usually get our first frost in late Oct. /early Nov. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

You may be able to pick the green fruit and ripen them off the vine when the frost comes. This article has information on that:

You may also want to consider building hoop houses over the squash to extend your season a bit more.
