After I lost two regular squash plants planted in the ground, to borers, I was mad as hell my squash had been murdered. I started looking for a way to outsmart those killers.
When I found the “T” squash, I went another step to not put it in the killer ground, and put it in that large planter with the plastic tower in the middle for a plant to grow up. Those moths/borers don’t like that plant to start with and it wasn’t in the ground for other killers to get to it, so it worked. That is the only squash I will ever grow. A pox on borers and ground dirt. You people plant in ground dirt but I don’t have the strength or physical ability to do that. I can deal with containers so I’m sticking to that.
I’ve been doing a lot of containers too, and I was so glad you spoke of your experiences with the T Squash, and I’m eager to get it started when it is the appropriate time in our area! Darlin and I are even planning on putting together a nice trellis for it to climb on!
