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.

I love squash, but can't seem to ever get much fruit because the borers
always kill the plants right about the time the fruit just gets started
producing. I only have a few small raised beds, so can't really plant a
lot in hopes I'll still get some the borers missed.

Any ideas how to beat the borers?
