rexx, aha, I think I misunderstood your first comment. When you say leave them on "until the vines die", did you mean until the stem vine of the squash turns brown and "dies"? I at first thought you meant until the entire vine, i.e., the entire plant, was killed by frost.
So when picking when fully ripe (squash has turned its final color, the stem of the squash is totally brown), do I still need to cure it for a week or two? I can leave them in my garage to cure. If it works for you in your garage and you're in my area, my garage will probably work well for me.
