    Master Gardener: Storing your winter squash (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As we transition to harvesting our fall crops, I have seen many questions in Facebook chats on how to know when to pick their squash and pumpkins. Also, questions are being asked about how to cure them so they can be enjoyed long into the winter. All types of pumpkins and squash DO NOT continue ripening after harvest, so they need to fully ripen before removing them from the vines.

    Master Gardener: Are there bugs in your raspberries? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English
