How do you know when green squash is ready for picking it has large leaves and i see these yellow flowers?
Some squash take up to 90 days to mature. Yellow Flowers should be present at the very start of fruit production. Wait for the foliage to die back some, the squash will consume the energy from the leaves. Pick when it can be dented by your fingernail. Happy Gardening~
Reply:what type of squash? Some can be picked whenever you want, or let them grow to be huge. Like zucchini -- they can be picked at 3 inches or 12 inches. Delicata -- the same way.
Reply:the yellow flowers are blooms and will make new squash you can start trying them probably at around 6 or 8 inches if they get too big they will be tough
