July 1, 2021Q.I’m Confused About Pruning Zucchini Plant Leaves
Your article says When cutting leaves to give zucchini more sun, just cut the bigger ones, and make the cuts close to the base of the plant, leaving all others. You can also cut off any dead or brown leaves that may be present. Do not cut any stems, as this will increase the risk for disease. Read more at Gardening Know How: Pruning Zucchini: How To Prune Zucchini Squash https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/zucchini/pruning-zucchini-how-to-prune-zucchini-squash.htm How do I cut the leaves at the base without cutting the stems!? I cut the leaves at the end of the stems instead as I am confused. Lol Thank you!

Certified ExpertA.I would cut off any leaves at the base of the plant. I think the author meant not to cut the stems haphazardly in the middle. Make clean cuts near the base of the clump.

60510Q.How Often Can I Give Tums To My Zucchini Plants With Blossom End Rot?
I followed your "Tums" advice for blossom end rot by inserting a tablet into the soil at the base of My zucchini plants. I was pleased with the outcome and the treatment seemed to be successful! However, I'm still seeing some signs of blossom end rot and want to know If I could give them another tablet and how often? Thank you so much for your help I appreciate it and I hope to hear an answer from somebody soon!

Certified ExpertA.You can, as often as you see necessary. A less expensive, and more long term solution will be to feed the plant, properly. Most vegetable garden fertilizers contain plenty of calcium and magnesium, cutting the need to add extra.
On the other hand, a 40 lb bag of Dolomitic Lime is less than 10 dollars. This will last several years for a small home garden.

Certified ExpertA.This could be due to many things. Unfortunately, I can't see the soil conditions or the leaves to see any other signs that might point to what is causing this.
These articles can help you to get started, though:

I have two zucchini plants. One plant is being eaten by some bug I can’t find or see anywhere. This is the first year I’ve had this problem. Been gardening in the same place for 20 years. I’d surely appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you so much.

Certified ExpertA.The lack of zucchini could be a pollination problem. You might try pollinating them yourself with a small paintbrush. Does your outside container have a saucer? Removing that will help avoid root rot.
