Personally I am not growing squash, but at the Greeneville farmers
market this past Saturday there was one vendor with acorn squash and
a couple of other vendors with Waltham butternut squash. the acorn
was a good size but the butternut was small.

well not knowing where you are at I'd just say use the 100 days as a guideline and certainly harvest before frost, the skin should be quite hard and, vines dying and a yellow/orange color to the spot where they touch the ground, store in a dry well circulated area and enjoy

Bev; it may be different in the South, but here in the north, we wait until frost kills the vine to pick any winter squash. They seem to keep better that way. But then they generally aren't completely ripe (i.e. the skin becomes hard) until then. If you pick them now, will they keep all winter?
