can I trim my summer squash plants and cucumber plants
the sum. squash plants are growing like wildfire ,the leaves are as big as basketballs....can I cut some of the leaves off ?Iam thinking I can and it would give the squash a boost,cause the leaves won't be s#^^^^^&g up their juice ...and the same with the cukes
|
I personally don't cut off leaves unless they're wilted and dying.That's what I was taught anyways...don't know if its right or wrong but my zucs and squash do well.I've been hit or miss with cukes over the years.

NO MILO YOU CAN'T. I grow giant pumpkins when the woodchucks don't eat my %$%$%$%$ing plants and the leaves are one fo the ways that nutrients are delivered to the fuit. You should be spraying the with fish oil once a week, not be thinking of cutting them off.
I know people used to do this with tomato plnts, cutting off the suckers, but that is the only plants they did it with. |
I'd wager the leaves also shade the fruit and keep the moisture levels higher.
While you're at it snip some of those flowers, stuff with goat cheese and fry them :drool: -spence |

thats not spence's kitchen. The POS coffee maker is a dead give away. plus thats a sub par kitchen knife, and spence only uses copper bowls.

Knife is a regular Wusthof Grand Prix. If you'd like I can take a photo of my vintage French carbon steel Sabatier Jeune. Copper bowls are for egg whites. -spence |
cutting them allows the borers
into the stems that are hollow |

The one in the picture is a Kitchen Tools which was made by B&D. We now have a Cuisinart that works fine. -spence |
I hope you have updated the counter top. Cobalt blue is so 70's

Get a burr grinder and a capresso for everyday use.A bodum french press for weekends. Grind and brew is gauche.

The problem with coffee grinders is that even the decent home units still don't work all that well and all make a mess. We have a roaster down the street and buy all our coffee ground. It's consumed within a week or so and I can't tell any loss of quality in the cup. -spence |
