Great tips! When we buy our land I'll have to set up a drip system. I'm sick of pulling out the water hose.
voh.fyi

great informative video about zucchini, yours look very happy.
I struggled putting a drip system in. I have arthritis in my hands and had a hard time with the tiny parts. I ended up using soaker hoses and timers and they're making watering easy.
Didn't know you could eat the flowers. I love the zucchini plant just for the leaves. It looks like a house plant. I do like the bush variety — this is my first time growing it in my garden. I usually grow the vining. How long do you have your drip on for your grow bag? You are a wealth of information. Thanks for the information — learn something new everyday. Thanks my friend.
Great job explaining everything thing. Do you use notes to help prompt you as to what you want to say? You are a natural
Where does the zucchini live normally on your deck?
The vine borers enter in the stem where it comes from the ground
Great video! Would you recommend plucking some of the flowers early on so the plant can concentrate on growing? Or not so much?
thank you for the tips! its my first time growing anything i'm obsessed already! Unfortunately i'm renting a apartment so i have limited space. i have 3 plants in a planter box and one is kale! lol i need to take the kale out and find a home for it theres now way it will have room!
I tried zucchini for the first time on a whim this year, and it was a complete fail. I believe my issue was too small a container so it got root bound and slowly died. I’ll try again next year but this time save my big container for zucchini. My tomatoes have always done fine on their own even in small containers for my cherry 🍒. Thanks for the tips.

I noticed the Zucchini plant at about 7:28 minutes into the video…
How do you do it
