FWIW, my cucuzzi seem more heat tolerant than the Tromboncino/Trombetta di Albenga. The leaves on the cucuzzi don't wilt at all in the afternoon like the T squash. I've been picking the little tiny brown spots, aka, SVB eggs off of my Tromb's and Cucuzzi. There were just a few on the Cucuzzi, and since the squash are both vines, it is pretty easy to spot them.
I am also garden sitting for some friends, and his Tromb' Squash had some SVP eggs on it. Also, his T Squash have escaped their cattle panel and are headed up a tree..Good luck picking squash fifteen feet up in a tree.

LOL!!! My two T’s are going to be over the cattle panel in about 3..2..1.... no trees nearby so I don’t know what is going to happen. I might have to look around the junk piles and see if I can rig up something for them. The Cucuzza is definitely looking for the fence & ready to climb so I did take the shade off this afternoon - it’s cloudy with T-storms in the area & tomorrow will be a little cooler, so I think the timing is perfect.
I haven’t been checking the squash carefully for anything (eggs, etc.), but I guess I’ll have to start looking at the leaves. So far, they’re all healthy, green, and growing like crazy!
Black snake in the hen house yesterday - got an egg. Always something going on around here.
