Subject: [Market-farming] Blue Hubbard Squash are yellow

This is my first year growing blue hubbard squash, they are really big and just recently they turned from blue to yellow, the vines are still healthy and green and I assumed like other winter squash they would be ready to harvest when the vines started to die back and the squash rind was hard.  Any suggestions?  A few are still blue but not many.   Thanks.


There's a variety called Golden Hubbard -- is it possible that you have this, or some other yellow-ripening variety, instead of one of the Blue Hubbards?

Do the fruit seem in good condition? what's the flavor like?
