Zucchini oozing silicon

Sep 03, 2008 3 Replies

I have a garden that produces great zucchini, but I've noticed that when I cut them the "sweat" is a thick, silicon-like consistency. Is that a problem? What causes this?


this is how its supposed to be. It makes for a great picture. i think it is just the water and nutrients that is so abundant in the plant ozzing out when it is cut.

Happens allot when someone sees there first garden fresh anything.

Suddenly it's "What is this? This is not what I get in the store!".

That's why I garden.

:-D
