Transplaning my Zuchinni
My Zuchinni is getting acually quite big now, the biggist leaf is about inches long now, I need to get it out of the planter box its getting to big. Can I still transplant it to a more fertle space?, also the place I want to put it, the dirt was so hard, but I got it churned up, it was standing water this after noon, I went back not to long ago and it was still pretty mucky, should I add some potting soil to the dirt, stir, water, and tranzplant tommorow? need all the tips I can get.
This is tricky.
Do your very best to keep the roots intact with the dirt remaining on the roots.
Sometimes transplanting squash once it is too big, you can get it to grow, but it never produces female flowers.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Pull the male flowers and cook in butter or bread and deep fry.

Flowering is good. I RIPPED out some cucumber plants this year and transplanted them. 2 at my neighbors who doesn't take care of them and they died very fast. 2 at a very fresh garden I did this year for blue berries and strawberries (and odd plants to grow) 1 of them is doing pretty good, with cuc's on it, the other died.
There is Hope!

p.s. do like your doing and trim every little dead or almost dead piece off it should come back. You wouldn't believe some of the lifeless plants I have brought back to life.
