Butternut squash is a delicious and versatile gourd. Whether baked, made into soup, or even mashed into pancakes, these sweet squashes are a delight to have in the kitchen. They’re even better when freshly harvested from your own garden! Growing butternut squash plants is fairly straightforward, but when can you expect to harvest them? Will they ripen after harvesting like tomatoes, or should you wait for them to be fully ripe? This guide on when to harvest butternut squash will answer all your questions.
When to harvest butternut squash

When you should harvest your butternut squash depends on when you planted it. Start checking your plants for ripe squash about three to four months after you planted them. If you planted them in the typical window of mid to late spring, this should fall in late summer to early fall. Depending on your climate, you may be able to continue harvesting squash through fall to early winter.
