My winter squash are splitting - August 25th, 2004 at 06:16 AM
Does anyone know why my butternut squash may be splitting? They have gotten very big - just too big or is there another problem? Here in Colorado we've had a lot of rain this summer - very unusual for us - so my cucumbers are also curving. Could excess water also be causing my squash to grow too quickly and split? The squash are a beautiful size, but the skins are still greenish, not tan yet so I know they aren't ready to harvest. Help!
