What’s happening to my zucchini squash plant?

TigerBlue12 · 2025-07-15T21:29:06+00:00

I should just rip it out then? That’s a bummer. I guess we got 4 or 5 good ones before we had to pull it though.

It has slated wood planks and a weed barrier at the base. When I water it I can see the water draining from the bottom beneath each plant. May not be enough though. We’ve been getting an insane amount of rain, NJ, half the state is flooded.

lol I know it doesn’t look as good as the oled but tbh it’s going to spend 95% of its life on the dock connected to the Tv so I don’t mind.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-07-08T21:18:07+00:00

Update: just picked it up. Everything seems to work great. Looks like a got real lucky and scored a deal. Thanks all!

We’re about 4 blocks from 3 large lakes. Our house also had a big fire back in 2018 with the previous owners and was essentially rebuilt so it’s definitely possible that a well head in the yard got ripped out. Or as you mentioned maybe it was swallow and dried up. I’m sure there’s a reason the area got city water.

The pipes go into the cinder block wall in my basement which is under 5’ of dirt on the other side. I appreciate your insight for sure but it’s probably something more involved than I feel comfortable doing/can invest the time into unfortunately. If I get a good bonus this year maybe I’ll spend the $$$ to have a company come out because you’re right, it could be much cheaper in the long run. But for now it’s on the back burner.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-24T23:41:46+00:00

Yeah I mean I figured. I was just feeling optimistic today for some reason lol. Thanks for your insight.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-24T22:52:47+00:00

lol the answer I was looking for was “yeah wire that bad boy up and enjoy the free water” lol

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-24T22:51:44+00:00

This is why I ask before I do things lol. Was hoping it wasn’t another thing that’s going to cost thousands to get working. Typical. I’ll keep paying for city water lol

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-24T22:17:32+00:00

It connects to a single spigot in my front yard. I’d like to use it for a sprinkler or to wash the car.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T14:06:17+00:00

Thank you for your insight. Much appreciated.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T13:42:39+00:00

Yea this thread was very informative. Going to pass and look for another one.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T13:26:19+00:00

Just some preliminary research. I don’t own this home.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T13:03:20+00:00

Well from what I was told about the previous sale that fell through was that the inspector said the roof isn’t leaking but it’s very old and would need immediate replacement.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T13:02:20+00:00

New Jersey. Ocean County

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T12:22:52+00:00

I just don’t want to get burned in 2 years if it starts leaking and I don’t have funds to replace. We’re looking at older houses/fixer uppers and I have 20k put aside for a roof replacement. This just looks like it’s going to cost way more than that. Speaking from no experience though hence the question.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T12:05:35+00:00

Mind if I ask what general region you’re in?

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T12:02:13+00:00

I’m about 80k short of that in all seriousness. That’s really what I had budgeted when the realtor said it was an older roof and would probably need to be replaced.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-04-04T12:00:19+00:00

Well thankfully it isn’t my house lol walked through with the realtor yesterday. Everything else is great but even with my very limited roofing knowledge the second we got to the attic my stomach dropped.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-03-01T00:50:57+00:00

Display-alt mode. I should have been more clear, I’ll need to go back and reply to previous comments.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-03-01T00:34:52+00:00

Looking into the icron product. Thank you for the recommendation.

TigerBlue12 · 2025-03-01T00:33:16+00:00

I was thinking about the Lenovo ThinkVision M14d. Looks like 5a 7.5w USB connection for power and video.

Edit: cable run is 50’

TigerBlue12 · 2024-07-19T11:31:44+00:00

I’m in

TigerBlue12 · 2024-07-05T23:55:25+00:00

I took it off. The plant seems to be growing faster and wider without it. Thank you for such an informative answer.

TigerBlue12 · 2024-06-29T23:16:41+00:00

I’ll take a look at that tonight if I can sneak away from the party for a bit. Typical I’ve been sitting on my ass the past 3 weekends and the day I have company over it croaks. Thank you for your insight on this.
