If there’s time enough in the growing season, they should eventually mature and turn yellow.

Thanks for identifying that what I found growing in my garden was small wonder spagetti squash. I harvested a “ton” of them today. Will the green immature ones eventually turn yellow?

What a wonderful post. Reading makes me want to go order some of those seeds, but alas, I must remember that my garden, and squash are not a good match.

I love spaghetti squash too. I’ve always eaten it with spaghetti sauce and meatballs.Yum. A small variety seems much more useful than the larger ones. I’m the only one in my family that eats it and one squash takes quite a while to go through. Sadly I don’t grow C. pepo anymore though (except zucchini). The SVBs kill them too quickly. I never get any fruits from them before they die.

These squashes know how to travel in style! Spaghetti squash use to be the only winter squash I liked, many years ago before I figured how to cook other varieties. I had forgotten how much they sprawl. Thanks for a very informative post, it is nice to see how much yield you can get from those plants.

I am very impressed with your squash vines! I thought I had the queens of sprawl in my butternut patch, but I think you win that prize hands down. I do love all sorts of squash, and the news that there is a healthy prolific small variety of this squash is very good. Especially since it keeps so well. I still have a couple of the butternuts from last year on my kitchen counter. Need to cook them soon, the vines in the garden are absolutely loaded right now.
