Been a little busy outside. I've been growing different varieties of heirloom squash for many years now & this is the first time I've had to deal with vine borers. The only info I could find was to cut the vine & dig them out... so that is what we did to every mound with issues ~ about 30-40 plants. Each one had an average of 3 worms inside the vine, afterward I packed wet dirt around the cuts.. its been over a week now & no total losses of the plants!! Thank God. Now I'm finding little worms on the Iris' Grumbling This year has been just awful for problems & bugs. I'll get off my soapbox though & share some pretty blooms.
