Q.Cutting Zucchini Plants
I have been told that cutting some stems off of a zucchini plant leaves the plant open to borers. The plant is getting huge and I’d prefer to prune it rather than letting it take over the whole garden– that’s what the above-mentioned person told me to do, which I think is way too hippie.
