 | | Squashes are four species of the genus Cucurbita, also called pumpkins and marrows depending on variety or the nationality of the speaker. |
 | | Summer squashes, including young vegetable marrows (such as zucchini known as courgette, pattypan and yellow crookneck) are harvested during the summer, while the skin is still tender and the fruit relatively small. |
 | | Winter squashes (such as hubbard, Buttercup squash, acorn, vegetable spaghetti and pumpkin) are harvested at the end of summer, generally cured to further harden the skin, and stored in a cool place for eating later. |
