We grew a little bit of winter squash this year (this picture only shows some of it). We plan to be eating these babies well into March.

How do you store them? I was thinking of stocking up at the farmer’s market and store in my basement storage, which is the great limestone coolers common in South City. But I don’t know how well they keep.
They should keep well in the basement. For ideal storage, start collecting those mesh-type onion bags. Place the squash in the bags and hang them in the basement. They usually go bad because of bruising that occurs under their own weight if you just let them sit somewhere. This is what we used to keep them until March last year.
