Last year I grew Galeux d'Eysiennes for the first time. I was totally amazed by the smooth flesh and wonderful flavor -- like a butternut but with thicker flesh and finer texture. Last year I followed Farmerdill's method for picking. I waited until just before the last frost, then picked. They came out wonderfully well. But I discovered that they only keep about 2 months, so I became interested in an article that I read that said they were ready to eat when they began to have warts on them.
This year I picked one with warts on it. We probably have a week or two until our first freeze and the plant is still growing vigorously. It turns out to be perfectly ripe and if anything even more tasty. So start eating your Galeux when they get some warts. No need to wait.
This is the tastiest squash I have ever eaten and I plan to grow it every year.
