thanks that really helped!!!!!!
You should go ahead and do a video about the squash vine borer because people are going to learn the hard way if you don't.
or you could take 1 dime and buy some seeds…and with those seeds get atleast 10 and dont mess with going to the store
From the look of the slightly yellow edges of leaves that turn into brown, dessicated zones, I would venture a guess that this row of zucchini is infested with the bane of my gardening existence, the SQUASH BUG.
I will try the companion planting technique of planting nasturtiums, radishes, and marigolds in rings around my zuchs this year in a (no doubt vain) attempt to deter the squash bugs. They're nasty critters.
I took your advice on growing squash and it inspired me to jump on my pogo stick.
Dont through away the flower D:!! make it into a quesadilla! đ
I love Jared's videos. I always learn something from them. Thank you.
Make squash flower fritters they are great munchies after twisting & burning a bone!
my dad and i did a taste test with summer squash. we let one go to be about 10 inches long and 2 '' wide. we harvested another at around 6'' long and an inch wide. the tiny one was so sweet i really wanted to eat it raw!
It's winter now, when would be a good time to start planting the summer squash, what is a good date to start?
The squash vine borer is probably the worst problem I've had in growing summer squash
Hi, as your growing in rows and not companion style do you have to spray for pests? Or do you try to go organic?
zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta cheese, lightly sauteed and with a fresh marinara sauce – incredible.
batter and fry the blooms đ
very clear and good presentation
Nothing about mildew?
GET RIDE OF THE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my god, i know! i had beautiful zucchini and they completely killed them, didn't notice until it was too late đ oh well, best thing to do is kill the eggs under the leaves before the hatch
You youngster's who are making immature comments should try to do as well as he does! Very talented young man!
