How long does squash take to ripen?

Answer 1

From sowing to fruiting, cucumbers will take approximately 6 - 8 weeks.

From flowering to fruiting will take approximately 2 weeks, but this can be shorter if the weather is warm, longer if very hot or cool.

If you see the cucumber, it is ripe. The additional growth time will only effect the size of the cucumber. Cucumbers are picked as mini jerkins or 1-3 inches in length, pickles- from 3-5 inches in length and as cucumbers anytime after that. If the outer skin of a cucumber turns yellow, it is over ripe and may have a sour taste. Hybrid ones can reach lengths of 36-48 inches in length, but have a weaker flavor. Under perfect growing conditions Ive had 1 inch cucumbers in the morning and by nightfall they were 5-6 inches in length.

Answer 2

It usually takes 6-8 weeks from fruit set for winter squash to ripen, but the time varies depending on the variety of squash, the temperature, and the amount of water the plants are getting. Squash that get adequate water throughout the growing season will continue to size up as they ripen. Hot temperatures accompanied by little or no water will curtail growth and accelerate ripening.

Harvest the first winter squash the plants set in late summer, but leave squash that set later on the vine until after the first hard frost kills the leaves.

Summer squash are harvested small, while their skins are still tender and before their seeds develop. In warm weather with adequate water, it can be 2-3 days from flower to harvest.
