Zuke update
Hi All,
Warning: I am rambling here. Okay, I make up for my black thumb with quantity. I counted my zuke plants. Sixteen of them this year. Five seems to be doing well. And I seem to have the upper hard on the accursed squash bugs. I have various little ones too that I have been experimenting with late sprouting. I am also starting to win on the powder mold too. One of my premiere plants with huge leaves and ~18 inch stems got nailed in a late wind. Every branch snapped and died. But the trunk is still growing, so I keep watering it. This will be fun to see if it comes back to life and actually fruits. Some of the plans have squat brittle leaves and 1/2" stems. I haven't figured that one out yet. I have to be careful looking under them for squash bug eggs as I have snapped a few leaves in half on these. I hope to have a quorum of fruit for the pan this Monday. Garden to pan zukes make my eyes roll in my head. Yum!!! I hope to break my 12 fruit barrier this year. Last year I forget, I think I had over 10 plants and only got about 12 fruit total. -T I think I will use last years bull s*** story on them when I pick them. I will tell their parents I am taking their offspring for a drive in the country. Zukes is so stupid! (To quote Yosemite Sam.) |
