Storing Squashes? - Broadway - 12-02-2022
A couple of mine have gone bad, they were all in a net bag outside in the coal house, what am I doing wrong?
They were touching flesh against flesh.

Make sure they are fully Ive then hang them singly in net bags in a first free out house/garage and they should keep a long time.

make sure they are fully'ripe' and keep 'frost' free, I think that should read. Also make sure they are clean when you store

Do you know what variety they were Broadway? Summer squash aren't intended for storage.
