If you have only lost a few by mid winter you're doing pretty good by my
standards.
I just wash or brush the dirt off and store squash in as close to root
cellar conditions
as I can come up with. Most of my squash last only 2, somtimes 3 months.
Last year I asked two squash growers at the farmers market about storage,
and they
both said 2 months is about as long as you can expect to store squash.
If you find a better way please inform.

Spahatti squash is the only squash I enjoy raw. The raw baby butternut
squash
sounds like a fantastic idea. Thanks, wish I had some to eat right now.
