Thinking ahead as you do,
I have had good crops over last few years of Butternut Squash, however storing them is another matter.
I have waited when weather allows for stems to fully harden to crop, but still manage to have the stems start getting mould.
They are kept in the garage with fairly stable temperature and humidity.
This year I am going to try putting ground cinnamon on the stems after hardening to act as a natural fungicide.
Anyone else tried or even heard of this??
I'll post results albeit a little way off.
