Q.Should I pick suckers off of spaghetti squash?

Zone Tiptonville, TN | Anonymous added on June 2, 2020 | Answered

I put seeds from spaghetti squash in dirt. They became plants. My question now is do I pick the curly suckers off before they bloom (supposedly to make the plant stronger) or do I leave them on.

Since you describe them as "curly," I'm thinking you're referring to tendrils. The short answer is no; unless you need to control the size of the plant, the tendrils are there to support the plant.
