It's that time of year where you attend to your garden, harvest a couple zucchini and decide some of the others need more time to grow. So, you leave them on the plant. You come back to the garden two days later to find giant zucchini and double the number of squash you started with. Can anyone else relate to surges in zucchini? Squash varieties are split into the categories of winter and summer squash. Zucchini falls under the summer squash category since it is harvested during warm weather...

When harvesting tomatoes before frost, Ward Upham with Kansas State Extension recommends separating them into three groups. Fruit that are mostly red, those just...
Dealing with insect pests is a frustrating aspect of vegetable gardening. With some insects, by the time the damage is noticed it may be too late to do much but share produce with the little critters. Examples of such insects are corn earworm, tomato fruit worm and squash vine borer. Once these insects are inside the fruit or plant, it is too late to use control methods like insecticides. Corn earworm adults are buff colored moths that lays eggs on corn silks at night. After hatching, larvae...
Kelly Feehan and Brittany Spieker Extension Educators If healthy vegetables are blooming but not setting fruit, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, this is can be due to poor pollination caused by a variety of factors. This year, heat and high winds could be drying flower parts as well as reducing pollination. Eventually, most plants will begin to set fruit. With some vegetables, too warm of night and day temperatures delays fruit set. For example, tomatoes will not set fruit when night...
