Can I transplants bearing zucchini plants

Question

I planted too many zucchini plants in my organic garden and now they are over crowding the other plants as the plants are giants. All are bearing young ones now, but I need to remove a few plants to my daughter's organic garden in another place. Is this possible or will the  plants shed all the young zucchini that are on the plants.

Answer 1

I don't recommend this.  The root system is very delicate and probably won't survive this kind of treatment.  However since you have too many and she doesn't have any or enough-go for it.  You have nothing to lose except zucchini.  Make sure the new hole is dug and ready for the plants before the plants arrive to make the transition as smooth and fast as possible.

I agree with comment......but I would do it right before the sun sets....at the darkest part of the day.....use a flashlight....maybe it won't go into shock......and water & mulch well....
