Well, if you have read some of my other questions, I have to come to the conclusion that I damaged by over fert. and that the damaged leaves are not coming back. The old growth leaves are about 70% brown and they seem to slowly be getting more damaged. New growth looks better but it sure has slowed the plant overall by plenty.

should I just cut off these old leaves at some point or use them to get every bit of photosynthesis I can out of them?

in all honesty, probably doesn't matter either way. if they are totally fried, just cut them off. If they have hope of contributing to the plant, leave them on as long as possible. Jimmy

Keep your patch clean. By removing any dead material the squash bugs won't have as many places to hide!
