First year to plant winter squash. What is the optimum time, or condition of the plants, to harvest? I'm in metro Denver, CO. If this has previously been addressed, I missed it.

Also, remember to leave 2 to 10 inches of stem on each squash when you pick it. It helps keeps the squash from spoiling. If it accidentally breaks off, they will still store for a month or so, put set them aside to be used first.
I just today, picked up 6 winter squash and one pumpkin that I had entered in the county fair. I raised them all last summer and picked them just before freezing.
