I recently trimmed off all the dry looking leaves from my kabocha squash plants and the next day the vine looked dead. It looked like the trimming caused the plants to bleed to death. The plants never bore female flowers anyway, so it wasn't such a loss. Just another lesson in what I should not do again.
