What happens here

Squash varieties like zucchini and yellow squash grow very quickly. It is essential to check these plants every day, or at least every other day, as they can rapidly go from an ideal size to being excessively large. Part the dense, large leaves to look deep within the plant for any hidden squash that are ready for picking. Harvesting squash when they are smaller ensures better flavor, texture, and encourages the plant to produce more fruit. Overgrown squash become seedy and tough.

Goal: Thoroughly inspect squash plants daily or every other day by parting their large leaves to locate and harvest mature squash before they become oversized and lose quality.

trellis system let's go over to the squash we got a rainstorm last night and it's kind of weighted down some of my squash this is like Jurassic Park squash right here so basically what I want to do is poke through the squash and make sure that there are no squash that need to be picked okay once these squash start blooming and once they start taking off you have got to stay on top of picking these squash look at that big look at that big beautiful bloom right there that's awesome so I've got to keep a close eye see if there's anything in here that needs to be picked if there is then we need to jump on it and these squash are absolutely huge I'm 65 and the squash is over my waist unbelievable it's really really doing well this year so despite the size of this squash we probably only have a couple that we can pick right now
