Zucchini in Hawaii inside hoophouse
by Eric Weinert · Started May 15, 2026
Planted green regular zucchini and yellow summer squash in hoophouse, there is a large tomato plant at one end and russet potatoes planted at the south end, and comphry along the sides, the squash was planted in the center after making IMO, and cardboard was laid down to suppress weeds. The soil in that hoophouse has not been tilled or turned for 3 years.

plants growing well, pinching off flowers daily, maybe 3 flowers per day, both male and female. Spraying twice a week extra lab, Powdery mildew has gone away from the comphrey. Harvested on Peter Pan squash
