I've lost 4 squash vines to to the borer in the past week. The melons are so crowded out by weeds that they don't even want to get in there!

I grew a few regular green zucchini and interesting hybrid Gold Rush and Orangeti. The Orangeti was the last to get hit this week, but Gold Rush and one similar yellow hybrid is still healthy. The white lebanese that I grow every year (suggested by Jeanne Ann?) is also still healthy.


You may want to try a few varieties that claim some resistance to the borer.
