what to do with dead leaves on zukes?
 

Hi All,

As my Zucchini plants grow, I am getting a lot of
dead leaves (new ones too). Do I let mother nature
take its course on the dead leaves or do I cut them
off? And, if I cut them off, where do I cut them
at?

Many thanks,
-T

If you are in the northern hemisphere, leave them be. They're not
hurting the plant or your garden. The season for zucchini will soon be
over. When the plant dies, remove any remaining squash and then chop
the rest of the plant into your compost pile.

Best burn them. They are lousy with mould (odium) which will only over
winter in your garden.

Hey, shit for brains, do you really think you are going to eliminate
all the mold on the planet by burning one stink'n zuke plant, geeze
billybutt head are you dumb... why didn't you recommend saturating the
entire garden with gasolene so he can cremate all the mold spores in
the soil... burn his house down too, you moron!
