Good advice.
Rain gauge has an exact inch in it and that would be Tuesday, yesterday and today. I emptied it so it will measure from this morning on.
The two bottom leaves of the large squash plant have turned yellow and are dying. I just sprayed the bottom part with Neem oil. I suppose I should have sprayed that occasionally just to be sure a moth/borer couldn't take control. Hopefully, no more leaves will die but if there is a borer, the plant will die for sure. The vine is 8 feet long now.
Maybe I should have kept net over it so a moth couldn't get to it but the tendrils that attach to the plastic poles had started attaching to the net so had to take the net off. After that I wrapped it every night in row cover but it wasn't on the plant during the day so a moth could get to it. I will know soon if a borer got in because more leaves will start dying fast.
