Injecting the Tromboncinos with BTK seems to have helped. I didn’t see any new frass today, but did pick a few SVB eggs off, plus two stink bugs yesterday on the Tromboncinos.

On the Cucuzzi front, I’m finally getting lots of female flowers, and not just males. I counted four baby cucuzzi today, and I have one that should be ready to pick tomorrow.

I have 7 Trombettas (big ones) on the kitchen counter that I’m about to use up. This morning, I got some extra flour, sugar, and Stevia at the store so I can modify my go-to Zucchini bread recipe. Just made a pot of spaghetti sauce and had some over Tromboodles for lunch (the first time I’ve used Tromboodles) - really good!

The Cucuzza is loaded with male flowers and not many females. I have one really large C-squash that has lost its fuzz so I’m guessing it is ready for harvest any time now. It’s long, but not so big around - had to make a sling with a bungi cord to keep it off the ground! There are several small C-squash that I’m hoping are pollinated .... maybe 3-4 inches long so they have a ways to go yet. No SVBs or squash bugs this year that I’ve noticed - yay!

Since you told me about having that zucchini bread for dinner, I’ve been thinking/dreaming about it ..... probably going to happen at my house tonight :-)
