They do need to be cured like other storage squash. Not sure that you can eat the skin after storing then though. Monica - If it doesn't ripen I'm not sure I'd feel good about sending it to the foodbank. If it does ripen I know that we'll eat every bit of it. The painting is REALLY bad in person - but I'm sure it will be there at least another year or two as it's definitely NOT a priority project :) Lauren - I read that Delicata can be stored for 3 - 6 months.

You could donate some of it to the local food banks. They would appreciate having fresh foods that store well for the people that need them. I think that one of the best things about the economy is that people are forced to return to gardens and raising their own foods, but when we have jobs and the hustle and bustle of the world we forget how easy it is to grow. Eat what you can, and can the rest. What you can't can give to someone who needs a good meal. The painting in your pic looks pretty good. Our living room had striking white on the top and battleship grey sponged unevenly on the bottom. It was one of those projects that we will deal with it & as soon as Spring comes. . . 4 years later, it was still there. Ha. What beautiful squash!

I was just thinking about this the other day and made a mental note to look it up. Can I store them same as the others? Will the skin stay edible, do you think? Can delicata be stored?
