Just went to that link you gave on the buttercup squash and read this:
"Although buttercup squash typically start maturing in late August or early September, you should check for ripeness a few weeks earlier if your area experiences a heat wave."
Since we have been in heat wave of sorts, I did see what was described in the article, dry vines and that was what I had read too, so I picked that one in the above pic. We cut it up this week and it was done, after blanching it, we used our freeze dryer to store it for use later. Here is that link for others that might be interested:
