Look at any American gardening forum and you'll see, at this time of year, gardeners proudly displaying a huge collection of winter squash ripening on shed roofs or benches.
These are just a couple of CROWN PRINCE and a new variety from Edwin Tucker, AUTUMN CROWN, ripening up. they will keep much better for being exposed like this before storing.
Choose the sunniest spot you can, and move the squash inside as soon as an air frost (temperatures below 1degC) is forecast. You can also ripen squash up in a greenhouse.
