    I’ve been told we prune to grow squash...not leaves.
    And I prune the ones that are touching, the biggest ones and the ones that are not perfect. I also grow my squash in hay bales. They love it! 🥰 The more you prune, the more it grows. I prune my a lot.

    I just did this last night. Im brand new and i noticed my little blooms falling off. My plants leaves are about 3 ft tall and in a raised bed. I just jumped in last night and started opening it up. Im glad i found you. Confirmation we know what we are doing even though we dont know it. Praying for my plants to start fruiting. I have 1 zuchinni and thousands of big leaves. No more im so proud ofnmyself. Im 63 and God told me to plant a seed. I have so many beautiful plants and i have a new perspective on happiness.

    Mr Danny, one day, I’m going to have a garden as big as yours. This reminds me of my grandfathers gardens. He grew on 6 acres & it seems like every time you looked out there it was nothing but beautiful lush gardens. Because he worked in them from sun up until sundown. Very nice!

    Thanks! I been gardening for about 6 years. So I’m still kind of new to this. I have had good success but not great success especially with squash. I have never really prunes my squash. You explained The who what where and how very well. Plainly. That’s what I was looking for. I like a neat well thought out productive garden. I also keep in mind the location of the rising and setting sun. A lot of folks think it’s just haphazard but it’s planned. Thanks.

  • @c2farr
    @c2farr 4 роки тому +1

    The leaves are perfectly good as chopped greens. They have a raspy surface and need about 4 to 5 minutes of boil time to alleviate that. They have great nutrition and come in handy as the kale and collards die out. The male flowers, just before they start to open and let insects in are also edible and nutritious. Same applies to okra leaves and flowers, but with okra flowers, you can pick them after they open, as long as the bumble bees are not getting their lunch down in there.
