I currently have 4 zuchhini plants. They are all doing great, all have little zuchhinis on them. This morning though I woke up, checked on my garden (while I'm letting my chickens out) and notice that 2 of my plants have literally tipped over :hu

We did have storms last night. But the thing that concerns me is that the zuchhinis themselves are exposed. So, they are exposed to bugs, birds and the sun. I attempted to flip them back over, but they are so large and heavy they won't stay "up." Should I just leave them or try to prop them up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
 
I am not 100% sure on this one, but if the plant is not wilted from being flipped I think I would just leave it alone and it will adjust the leaves its self????

Don't worry about it. They will fix themselves. With all the rain we have been getting here mine have done it about 6 times this year already.
 
You guys were totally right :D I went out there this morning and they have readjusted themselves. Whew! Just goes to show that nature knows what it is doing.
 
Give them time.


If they don't pop back up, you can tie them to a dowel. Thats what I had to do with my squash.
