    Hi,
    I've got some butternut and little gems almost ready but not quite. Off on holiday for two weeks from Saturday. Should I leave for the two weeks or pick before I go? 10 day forecast showing low of 10 at night...
    Thanks

    I don't pick mine until mid October (unless a frost is forecast)

      Thanks Kristen,
      I'll leave them till we get back and keep fingers crossed for no frost.
