Acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo) is a winter squash with distinctive longitudinal ridges and sweet, yellow-orange flesh.
Roughly 85 days after germinating, acorn squash are ready to be harvested. Curing takes a week to ten days in a sheltered area outside, or a warm dry place such as a garage, protected from frost.

There are a few types of acorn squash so it depends on which you are growing. White, Yellow or regular (dark green with orange/yellow stripes).

acorn squash should be a deep, forest (very dark) green when it's ripe..
