Young butternuts outside

I have a few butternuts outside still very young to harvest. What can I do to save them from autumn cold? Can I cover them with anything so they could continue maturing?
You can try covering them with plastic but I doubt it will save them that long knowing that squash is very susceptible to mildew when temperature starts to drop down.
Oh.. It seems that covering them is not worth the effort according to your comment Carer. If I harvest them now, I don’t even know if they taste good. Next year, I should really start planting quite early.
Hey! Immature or green butternuts are as good as mature or yellow ones. I’ve tried one recipe: breaded young butternut. It was delicious. Just search on the net, there are pretty eassy recipes available.
Like you Gracia, I had also immature butternuts last year. Not knowing what to do with it, it went to my compost. Your comment Sha-sha is very helpful!
In gardening, there’s always something you can’t control.  This makes the experience so humbling. 🙂
Hi guys, thanks for your responses. It took me time to get logged in again on this forum so I could only write you back now. I already harvested my butternuts and will try cooking them soon. I really hope I’ll succeed in preparing delicious dishes out of it.
