Prune Zucchini Plants THIS WAY and Triple Your Production

Want to triple your zucchini production and pick zucchini all throughout the summer and all the way into fall? This is the way you can prune your zucchini plants to triple your yields. Pruning zucchini plants reduces diseases, increases airflow, increases sunlight, and makes it easy for pollinators to find and get to zucchini flowers. So, prune your zucchini plants and pick a lot of zucchini!

Your videos are always to the point with little excess chatter like many others. Your advice is much appreciated even for an experienced gardener.

[@sallymae3950]

I was just thinking the same thing! Love it! My time is limited and I appreciate facts over fluff!

[@Blynn-md4dx]

Indeed

[@Herculesbiggercousin]

Jag, you’re an incredible teacher and I love your presentation. Over the past year or so I have also witnessed a marked jump in quality of your camera shots and editing. Thank you for being a pillar of the Gardening Community here on KZbin Cheers to you and yours

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel!

[@user-uf2tx9fm9y]

You're right on the money as usual, Jag! Keep up the good work by keeping us gardeners well-Informed!

[@MissPeachCobbler]

Thank you, Jag. I'm going to use your technique of pruning my zucchini and hope I get, "A lot of zucchini"🎉

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Awesome, surely try and let me know how it goes!

[@kcsunshine6416]

I have all those problems with my zucchini. I am going to prune this year, thank you.

[@MB-co6qj]

Also, stake the stem for better airflow 👍

[@lisafrequency55]

This is also good for other squashes.

[@MirchiBoy]

My kids enjoy your videos and we garden with dadi/dada on the East Coast. Wishing you the best

[@Debbie-Keller]

Squash vine borer is so bad here. It gets my plants every year.

[@thelostone6981]

Same. Even when I’m checking nearly everyday, they always seem to be prolific.

[@TheMzTR]

To help that problem. Get fabric tulle, the ones with tiny holes & clamp it to ur pot or pin it to the ground. I use plastic milk crates with a 4' stick in the middle with a 8oz water bottle. Then drape it over the pot, crate like a Tee-pee ⛺. This will keep them off of it! Or take the tulle & wrap it around the base of the plant to help protect it. Those vine bores are always at the base of the plant.allow the tulle to cover the base all the way up to the leaves. Hopefully this would help U may hve2 pollinate the flower urself

[@Debbie-Keller]

@@TheMzTR I have wrapped it around the base. Also used foil around the base they still get in. Have not tried a full teepee.

[@FleetwoodPatch]

Jag, you truly are one of my favorites on here. Instructional and down to earth. You rock my friend.

[@nancygonzalez6788]

Thank you

[@debragarell1367]

Thank you, I love watching your channel

[@LucysprayLucyspark]

Still my fav gardening channel. Also, the fact that you can touch squash/zucchini plants without gloves is beast. 😮

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad you like the channel! Thanks for the support

[@Dr_V]

I don't keep bees of my own, but a neighbor does and all nearby gardens are kept pesticide free specifically so we all get good reliable pollination from those hives. In my area all types of squash fruit like crazy and all I need to do is remove their old yellowed leaves every now and then, usually I get far more zucchini than I could possibly use and give away the excess to various friends and relatives.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

That's awesome, we need to support people that keep bees! Glad to learn about your squash growing experience.

[@karmennash7479]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@djrbignell]

Very helpful.

[@GreenThumbGardener65]

Thanks Jag! Very helpful!😊

[@michaelgusovsky]

great info! i had no idea.

[@keranhumble6782]

Thank you for the pruning tip! I live in Southeast Alabama and have a lot of trouble with powdery mildew. This should help.

[@rexroman5211]

You are the best 😊

[@tutortani]

Good video. Gardening is fun. ❤❤❤

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

Last year I did that and staked them up. It worked great!

[@nalenilambourdiere9620]

Thanks

[@susiea1419]

Excellent video. Thank you. Apparently buttermilk sprayed on zucchini kills powdery mildew. We have a bee shortage here in the area where I am so last year pollination was poor!

[@edithpiaf9250]

Nice cheekbones. 😁

[@luckluckey2427]

Love ur videos. What type of fertilizer do you use for zucchini plants and how often?

[@mosey5878]

HELLO JAY cAN I USE HEATER VENTILATOR FOR SEEDS WHICH ARE COMMING UP.THKS

[@LordaIronblade1575]

Hi Jack, any advice on controlling powdery mildew besides cutting the leaves?

[@mlee40738]

Jag

[@susiea1419]

I think spraying with buttermilk is supposed help?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Yes spraying with butter milk or stale milk diluted with water helps with powdery mildew.

[@evanyoung952]

A much simpler method is to simply prune off the old leaves below any set fruit. It is a vine, just like a tomatoe so you just cut off all the old leaves, the vine keeps growing and producing. I have had 9 months of production doing this method

[@rosemaryangiolino3835]

Hey Jag is it ok to follow everything you said if I’m growing mine in containers? Thanks

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Yes, applies to containers too

[@adventurecreations3214]

Great and timely video. What percentage of the leaves should I prune?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Just prune the dry or yellow leaves, leaves touching the ground, and leaves intersecting with other plants. Do not prune more than 50% of the plant.

[@adventurecreations3214]

@@DaisyCreekFarms thanks for helping me

[@seantuitz]

For the last years (except this year for some reason) I had some insects pierce the zucchini and lay eggs in them. Luckily my Zucchinis this year were okay(I live in the southern hemisphere, so it's now autumn) and I planted butternut but they are unfortunately all rotting as this insect lays its eggs in them. How can I prevent this? I tried neem oil but it didn't help, and is it possible to eat unpolinated zucchini?

[@mariaslibeck9984]

I worry that cutting off stems leaves a nice big hole for squash vine borers to grow! Have you had any problem with this?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Luckily I do not have squash vine borers, the best way to prevent them is to start your squash early in the season, I use spinosad and diatomaceous earth on the plant in their growing stage, and I take out and burn the squash plants at the end of the season (be careful not to spread the fire).

[@yasminscooking9878]

Wow very fantastic very nice video bhaya kub nice plant like 👍 diye puro video jure achi full watch inshallah thank you so much 🌿🪴🌿🪴🌿🪴🌿🪴

[@user.A9]

What if you already grow too many zucchini and friends and neighbors start to avoid you so you can't give them away?

[@sharky7665]

What a great problem. Your local food bank would love to talk to you.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Get friends who appreciate your contribution! lol

[@susiea1419]

Dehydrate as well

[@EvolutionWendy]

How about training them up a stick?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Yes, it is a good practice if you can do it safely without hurting the plant!

[@lilycardoso4679]

When do you plant your zucchini? Do you plant seed or transplants?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

directly sow seeds in your garden after the last frost in your region. This is the best way

[@schautamatic]

Are you kidding me?? I can't keep up with the compost-fertilized zucchinis my plants produce as it is! 😂🤣

[@hopemorrison2367]

I get absolutely no zucchini

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

What happens?

[@ejb777]

I don't understand how anyone can grow vegetables like this in open field and not have it all decimated by rats. Can anyone explain, please?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

We do not have rats int he open field, we do have rabbits and we do loose a lot of squash and pumpkins to the rabbits. I no longer grow watermelon and cantaloupe because rabbits eat them all. It is a struggle.

[@Inpreesme]

Thank you
