Scared Yellow Squash!!??...
« Reply #-1 on: May 11, 2014, 03:09:18 PM »
Has anyone ever seen something like this?  Yesterday, when I weeded the garden, all 4 squash plants were normal ... but today I woke to find one of the Yellow Squash plants has suddenly turned.  Almost like the plant was scared of something!!!  The stalks just bent away overnight ... from what ... why ... I have no clue.

Check out the other 3 squash plants.  No wind or anything.  Standing straight up!!



Here's a closer look ...

It would have to be one of my neighbor's cats ... Strange to say the least!  They haven't come back to normal.  They're still like that.

Nope!!  Might have been something that softly laid down during that night cause the stalks weren't broken - just bent over ... Then again it could have been that drunk 'gray' who started the crop circle and fell asleep!  The shadow knows ...  :D  :D

It appears to be recovering.  Note the stalks coming back to the left and up.
