For some folks, harvest season brings hours and hours of canning, freezing, and drying to preserve crops for the colder months ahead. But if you’re looking for a crop that stores well all on its own, look no further than winter squash! Winter squash are versatile, nutritious, and can store for months. Another bonus—you can still save seed from winter squash that has been in storage! If you have winter squash growing in your garden or from a local market, we’ve written a step-by-step guide about how to harvest, cure, store, and use winter squash.

Some crops, such as cucumbers, need to remain on the plant long past the point of fresh eating to allow the seeds to fully mature. Cucumbers will continue to grow beyond their market-mature size as their seeds develop, eventually changing color from green to yellow or orange and losing firmness. It is best to wait several weeks after this color change before extracting the seeds to make sure the seeds have reached full maturity.
