I planted some acorn squash and I have a couple of questions about it.

First off how do I know when to pick it?? I have one that's the size of a softball and it's dark green all over except it's still a little white on the bottom. Should I leave it a few more days or pick it now??

Second the plant itself has a few little furry/hairy sections on it. Is this normal or is mold or mildew?? What do I do about it?? It's even on one of the squash.

Thanks!
Amanda

The ground spot on acorn squash should be bright orange and the rind very hard before you pick it.
