This is the first time I saw zucchini grown upright. Can yellow squash be grown upright? Also, I’m trying it this year.

So we’ve always had good luck growing zucchini but always got the powder looking leaves so thought we’d try growing them up a pole this year. Unfortunately, ours don’t seem to be doing well this way. The zucchini starts but then dry up and the ones that grow only get like 3” long and they take weeks! Any advice?

Can’t grow it here because of squash bugs. Evidently, our soil is infested with them. They only eat squash, zucchini, and cucumbers. Any suggestions?

In reply to Jen. If the plant is still flexible, give ti a try: just make sure when you drive the stake into the ground you don't slice through the roots. The string should not stop the growth if you tie it up loose enough not to cut into the plant.

doesnt the string prevent them from continuing to grow upward? if the plant has been in the ground for a month is it too late to put a stake in?

@Cindy Roos-Ritz, take a look at my page about the plant pollination process. I think it will help: https://www.backyardgardenlover.com/plant-pollination-process/

Super interesting article. Can you comment more on self pollinating the zucchini plants and also on using seeds that do not require outside pollination.. I too get flowers and no fruiting. Thank you.

You could use cornmeal in jars, snails and slugs love it cheaper than beer traps. clean the jars out and refill with 2 or 3 tablespoons of cornmeal ( Polenta if your Italian } once a week or every 2
