  • sick zuke question

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 5 16:45:30 2022
    Hi All,

    I decided to grow four zukes this year. One of them
    looks pretty sick and is not growing.

    https://ibb.co/ZSqYhSb
    https://ibb.co/qsmgWCH

    Any idea what is wrong with it?

    And, should I pull it out to keep it from
    infecting the other three?

    Many thanks,
    -T


    Oh, and I am doing battle with squash bugs too.
    So far I am winning!

    Death to Squash bugs!

    i don't worry too much about one plant infecting
    another if there's some space in between them.

    sometimes it can be something like a mutation which
    some plants have happen which will do them in. other
    times it can be a disease or attacks by bugs, other
    times it is the hot weather... etc. that is why
    planting diversity and in numbers is a good thing as
    it gives chances for some plants to fail and others
    to do ok and give results.

    be glad you don't have deer, rabbits and groundhogs...

    if you are spraying with soapy water it is a chance
    that might be the problem. not sure it will recover.
    don't sweat it. other three might produce enough.
