| These two fellows got so big growing unsupported, they broke their vine(s), and fell off to the ground. I sprayed some mildew shower spray (with bleach) on them to help deter rot, but will they survive? The smaller one, 13.2 lbs, looks cut/scrape free. The larger one, 17.4 lbs, has a few scrapes/cuts on it, and I'm afraid it will rot. How does it look? Anything I can do for each of them? I read that putting them in the sun will/may allow them to ripen even tho they were't mature yet, or even beginning to ripen. https://www.flickr.com/photos/phillydad12/ I've uploaded a few pictures of them on my photostream above. |

| Both look too immature to continue ripening off the vine. They will look cute for a week or two and then start to shrivel. Are these a cooking or decorative variety? You can see how they taste as summer squash, with the rinds removed. Probably bland, like spaghetti squash, but you could sauce it up if it tastes promising. |

| Welp, I guess I got lucky. Just got back from a mini-vacation, and found this! Looks like they'll ripen after all? |
