Butternut squash that’s been harvested at exactly the right time has a wonderful nutty flavour. The texture is also perfect when it’s cooked. You can either mash it up with some butter, sugar & cinnamon; or simply cook it as lightly salted cubes.
Either way, knowing when to pick your butternut squash is an important factor in the success of your cooking.

You finally decided to plant your own banana peppers. You love them on salads and pasta and pizza and sandwiches!

So, you’ve put in the time and work needed to grow and care for them in your yard and they’re now growing in bunches! You feel it may finally be that time to pick some and enjoy all that hard work!
