In my climate, winter squash is planted at the same time as summer squash. The vines can last longer than summer squash, but the first frost (a few days ago, here) does them in. (Actually, I had a hybrid zucchini and a tromboncino this year that kept on producing until frost! But all the other summer squash were done over a month ago.) The squash themselves -- depending on the variety -- can last all winter indoors in a cool place, though. I have one that's 2 years old.
