until it withers, do you still keep watering. I am over watering the garden, and the vine will die shortly. Should I harvest them now!

what size are they and do they look/sound mature, remember to leave the stalk on so that they can carry on maturing when ever you decide. I am happy to water as I am guessing that the vege dept in s/markets is going to need a bank manager to help one decide the mortgage level, come winter

if the plant has any life in it keep watering it. Leave them as they are untill its dead, or the first frost is over then store away on some sacks in a semi dark spot in the garage and away from rodents.

ok, better keep watering then. Some of them are very large. Great crop this year. Want to do it right for a long storage. Thanks for help.
