... Can some of the huge leaves be cut off of zuchinni plants? The only time I cut the leaves off is when the lower ones turn yellow. |

LOL, I like your thinking. I hadn't thought about leaving them in parked
cars...Might have to give that a try this year. "Jan Flora" wrote in message ... | In article , | wrote: | | Can some of the huge leaves be cut off of zuchinni plants? | | Probably.

Years ago a friend at work gave me a huge Zuchinni. I put it in the
trunk of my car and forgot about it. It began to smell and I never got the smell out. Ironically, I sold the car to this friend's neighbor's daughter. It had the smell in the trunk and he never did find out what caused it.

my zuchini plan is dying already after only producing about 4 zuchinnies,
not including the 3 that got sun scorched and died earlier in teh season when I ask my friend ot water while I was away. Anyhow, all leaves are yellowing and wilting. Help, is this normal and should it die this soon? wrote in message ... Can some of the huge leaves be cut off of zuchinni plants? |

If ALL of the leaves are yellow and wilting the plant may be sick. There are squash borers that eat into a stem and can kill the whole plant off from that point. I lost two yellow squash plants to them already. The die off can be sudden. Try burying the stem and see if it will take root along the stem and come back for later in the season. I haven't been getting much zucchini either, 4-5 so far. And I've got three plants. But most of the leaves are nice, big, firm and green. Older leaves and small ones hidden underneath yellow. Some always turn gray and crumble in to powder-bone dry. I think the unusual extended heat we've had is an issue. I know I got zucchini all through september last year so there is time here. Maybe zucc's like late summer better than the high-of-summer. I certaily have had a lot of flowers, and I can see bees in the garden everyday I'm out there. Maybe it is just producing lots of male flowers. I do have mildew (probably powdery) on the big leaves, but I always see some of that on the large leafed squashes. I was going to treat it with a weak milk and baking soda solution to see if that helps any.
