Hubbard Squash

Question
How do we know when a hubbard is ready how big do they usually get. We live in Oregon and have several about the size of a large cantelope.

Answer
Vicki:
This has been a tough year for cucurbits in Oregon. You can't determine readiness by size, they probably will be smaller than normal this year. See my post for complete answer: http://mygardentotable.com/vegetable-gardening-101/harvesting-cucurbits/
