Hey Dingerlily,
Hello, and Welcome!
Question?????
What do you mean that the leaves are drying out?
Does the plant look like it's dying???
You said you've got new growth too????
Are your plants producing???
Those leaves that are drying out maybe just the original leaves that were first on the plant....
As long as the plant basically looks healthy, and you're getting newer leaves, and it's producing, it sounds like your plants ok!
If it's just an "ugly" issue, probably ok to pull them off, I don't handle my plants too much.
Sometimes I feel when you manipulate the plants it weakens them??? My own thoughts on it....
What do you do with your Zucchini's may I ask???
We have some recipe's here
Does anyone have recipes for food from your garden?? Some to grill, some for bread's, etc.
Let us know how you're plants are doing???
