The first of the red kuri squashes are in; they could have waited a bit longer, as the stems were not fully brown, but had gotten tough. In general, wait until you can't break the skin with a fingernail. However, I wanted to harvest early so the plant wouldn't give up, having made seeds already. The tray is approximately 14x20 inches. Yes, I blinked-- the HUUUGE zuke in the back was one I ignored a few days ago because it was 'too small yet'. You can see that this time I even picked the 'too small' ones.
