Why are you pulling up your zucchini?
They've got SVB and powdery mildew. I've had zucchini in every meal since early June and I'm kinda over it. I'm planting different stuff in its place for fall: choy sum, baby bok choy, and kraprow holy basil. I also am pulling up my Greek oregano and replacing it with an orange flavored oregano. I tore out my mojito mint, disposed of 99% of the plant and planted a 1" section of root with 4 leaves and its doing really well. I'm still waiting for my new seeds to get here, and at least ten more new tall bearded iris rhizomes. I planted the three that came already, the rest are probably gonna show up while I'm in Maine.

You can borrow my trim buddy LOL. A few of us here have gotten these units this year and the general consensus is we aren't going back to hand trimming!View attachment 5315668
I have no concept of what kind of work is involved. Assuming all goes well and my plants continue to thrive with exceptional health and no pests, making an educated guess about what my yield may be, what am I looking at here for time spent processing the blossoms?

It's slow work. Not everyone hates it but I sure get tired of it and I don't do a custom job.
