Some, like acorn squash, should be eaten right away. Others can be stored in cool conditions for two to six months after being harvested.

Handle with care: Hard-shelled winter squashes are softies By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Winter squash is finally nearing maturity after spending 80 to 100 days growing in the family garden. What is not generally known, though, is that these hardshelled vegetables can be such softies when handled. That increases the odds of spoilage while they're in storage. "Broken skin allows bacteria to enter into the sweet interior and multiply like crazy by digesting the sugars and thus rotting the fruit," said Jim Muck of the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at the University of California, Davis. The longer that squash remains in the garden, the greater the risk, said Alexandra Stone, a horticulturist with Oregon State University. "Once they reach that harvestable stage, it is best to get them out of the field, as they are prone to sunburn, rodent damage, cracking and other problems," she said. If nothing else, they should be harvested before the first hard frost. "Very low temperatures will cause the water in the squash cells to freeze, which breaks the cell walls of the fruit and causes the flesh to turn to mush," Muck said. Different squash varieties mature at different rates. Use the thumbnail test as a reliable, quick and easy indicator, Muck said: Try to stick your thumbnail through the rind. If your thumbnail easily penetrates the skin of the squash, then the fruit is not mature. If the squash resists the pressure, it's time to harvest. When done properly, home storage can keep winter squash optimal for eating for up to six months after being harvested. The Big Three storage requirements are temperature, humidity and ventilation. Store the squash in a shed, basement, breezeway, enclosed porch or garage at 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. "Winter squash are damaged at temperatures below 50 degrees, and once damaged start to rot," Muck said. Humidity should be kept at 50 percent to 60 percent. "Ventilation is not as key as temperatures and humidity, but the air does need to be moving a little bit," he said. Other storage suggestions include: — Curing. Hold the squash at 70 degrees for 10 days and then move it into cold storage at 50 to 55 degrees. "Squash will store longer if they are cured first," Muck said. — Dispense with washing. "Washing shortens the time they will last in storage because it removes the natural waxy coating the squash develops as they mature," Muck said. "Use brushes to remove the surface

Dark florals move from runway to rooms By KIM COOK Associated Press We know that what brews in fashion percolates into decor. This fall, it's floral prints loaded with depth and drama. Anna Sui's fall 2017 show was replete with deep, moody florals on velvet, silk and chiffon. Recent collections from Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu have also featured them. Now we're seeing fall decor echoing the trend. "These florals don't hold back," says designer Sara McArthur, formerly of Design Collective West and now principal of her eponymous firm in Highland, Utah. "They're modern, cool and edgy. They're romantic and rock 'n' roll at the same time," she says. "Florals, typically a feminine pattern, are transformed into more androgynous looks with the darker palette." Raun Thorp of the Los Angeles architectural firm Tichenor and Thorp says, "The most inspirational dark florals were in the (2017 Spring/Summer) Dries Van Noten runway show, by Azuma Makoto." The Japanese floral designer encased dozens of exotic blooms in backlit blocks of ice to showcase the moody, ethereal floral prints on the clothes. "The fabrics in this collection would be a great starting point for a room's palette," says Thorp. Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen have dark floral carpets and cushions for The Rug Company. Westwood's oversize rose and magnolia motifs have a painterly vibe. McQueen has placed a macro photo of a crimson poppy on a midnight background; the rug becomes abstract art for the floor.

(AP photo) (www.therugcompany.com ) "Reminiscent of still-life art from Holland and Germany in the early 1600s, there's a surge of new still-life floral wallpaper in 2017, echoing the moody baroque vibes of the Old World," says McArthur. Flavor Paper worked with Manhattan floral studio Ovando and New York City's Skot Yobauje Photography to create a digital-print paper called Elan Vital that's atmospheric and hyper-realistic. Another pattern, Vivid Victorian, transforms a traditional floral print into something wild
