Frequently Asked Questions

How do I manage powdery mildew on Brunswick (squash) leaves?

Start by checking the undersides and lower canopy for a white, dusty coating that spreads from older leaves upward. Remove and dispose of heavily affected leaves early, then improve airflow by spacing plants and avoiding overhead watering so foliage stays dry. If it keeps worsening, spray a labeled sulfur or potassium bicarbonate product according to the label every 7–10 days during humid spells.

When is Brunswick ready to harvest, and how can I tell?

Harvest at about 95 days when the fruit rind is hard enough that you can’t easily puncture it with a fingernail, and the skin looks fully colored for the variety. The stem should be drying and turning brown, and the fruit should sound firm when tapped. Cut with a sharp knife leaving a short stem (about 2 inches) and cure in a warm, dry spot before storage.
