How to pick and store squash.
Although we often associate squash with the fall, their typical season is usually from early July to mid-August. Look for squash that are small, glossy and tender, free of any soft spots or cuts. Beware, though: Squash are fickle and fragile, so make sure to handle them carefully and wear gloves while picking. Store your squash in a cool, dark, dry space.
