My question is what do you do to keep leaves healthy? Mine seem to age too quickly. Leaves that are one month old are already getting brittle.

Does anyone have any methods of keeping healthy leaves for most of the growing season?

Thanks for your input.

one of the Joel Holland videos showed i think it was Lincoln Mettler had a small pumpkin growing on the end of each vine, and this was basically giving each vine a purpose greater than just existing; therefore, the vines remained healthy. hard to imagine a fruit on each vine, but give it a try or wait for more practical responses---eric
