I would suggest using cooked squash within a few days.
In American cuisine it not often peeled.
It is split open length-wise, dressed with butter or oil, or even dry roasted, with or without seasoning which is often sweet such as sugar, maple syrup, honey. along with dry spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg.
When it is done roasting, the flesh is easily removed from the skin, if the squash is to be cubed, mashed or whipped.
If not, it is then eaten much the same manner as a large baked potato is eaten "right out of" the skin.
If you did wish to peel prior to cooking, I would use a strong, all metal hand peeler,or a small veg knife or contour capable mandolin slicer.
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.
The yellow squash is a 'summer' squash and is perishable. Butternut is a 'winter' squash and can withstand unrefrigerated storage.
It depends on how hot and dry your area is. You can usually water once a week unless it gets over 95F. But watch your plants. When you notice the leaves wilting, it's time to water.
it depends on hat sixe squash if huge than maybe 35 but small u would need about 55pnds
A fruit
Anything that you think is a vegetable (like squash and tomatoes) but has seeds, is a fruit.
Remember: fruits have seeds, vegetables DO NOT!!!
I wash the whole pattypan well and dry. Then slice about 1/4 inch. To panfry: heat skillet over med-med high. Add olive oil to coat. Dredge slices in flour and place in skillet. Salt lightly and pepper if you like. Brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel lined plate. Serve and enjoy!
There are two kinds. Some squash grows on a vine (like pumpkins). Other squash grow at the base of a single large plant (like zucchini).
