My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Prune acorn squash?

18 years ago

I have 2 acorn squash plants that I grew from seed that have humongous leaves and multiple blossums. Do I prune some of these - how many do you leave on each vine? I mixed in composted litter. Do I side dress now?
