Hi! I don’t recall if I posted this but we fought the good fight against squash bugs all season and got enough zucchini to dehydrate and to use regularly between Earthwoman’s family and mine. Then, one morning late in the season, I went to check on all of our veggie babies and found that, overnight, there were lots of holes in the maturing zucchini. It probably took longer than overnight, but the entire squash patch was decimated by what I assume were borers. Tore everything out. Am still thanking The Creator for a letting us have a really good zucchini season up until that point. Next projects involve learning about nurturing healthy soil and how to make our own sprays for pests. Hope you have a great week!
We always get more zukes than we use, when we grow them. Just because it’s not our favorite veggie. Hubby likes the summer squash with his omelets, and zuchinni bread.
I put up more zukes as pickle spears this year than any other way. We haven’t tried them yet though-letting them season.
What a wonderful report! How wonderful that you had a good squash harvest before the Invasion.
Darlin and I just had a conversation about plans for our next gardening effort next spring, and where oh where to put the walking onions!?
