Cut stem, (don't break it off) leaving 2\" of stem attached, which keeps the squash whole, leaving no opening for infection. Though fruits are hard and may seem indestructible, treat them gently; bruising can spoil squash.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
