the butternut or buttercup squash we grow
here are somewhat resistant in that they may
get borer damage but they will keep going.
a few of the plants may die, but not all.

now that we've got cross-breeds and seeds
harvested from several years they seem to
be resistant enough.

We've been growing butterscotch squash for a couple of years; like butternut, but a richer taste and not fibrous.
