The only ones I've ever had rot were in bags of some sort. Spread out in a cool, dark, dry place, I've never had one rot.

It rained here today. Think it started about 8 am. as I waked up this morning. I've just come in from surveying the back 40 and everything is drenched.

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.
