This year we planted two hills of Acorn squash...one of Table Ace and one of...um...something Queen (I know, I know.... I have it written down somewhere). They are doing TONS better than we anticipated. We have at least 3 or 4 lovely green squash set (it's kind of hard to locate them...so the count gets sketchy...), and the plants are still setting. Yes, they're getting a spot of downy mildew here and there, but it doesn't seem to be slowing them down!


Does anyone know how to tell when they're ripe?
