After so much dry weather we've been having good rain lately, four of the last eight days producing 6.8". We'll take it! I still want to reapply the kaolin paste on the summer squash once we hit a dry spell. Meanwhile, Sevin is being used around the bases...until it gets washed off!
I'm not sure it would work but if you have to apply the Sevin to a lot of squash stems I think I would try mixing it up in a quart spray bottle maybe double strength with a teaspoon of Dawn. It wouldn't take more than a spray or two to coat the base and lower stem without involving the blooms.
