Q.Do the Flower Buds Need Shade or Sun to Bloom on a Squash Plant
The flower buds on my squash plants are shaded by the leaves, and I thought I should prune the leaves for the buds to get sun, but wonder if they are shaded for a reason. Also, when I prune the leaves, do I leave the stem on or cut to the body of the plant? Thank you. Ardynne
