How do you stop them from killing the vines? I tried to cover the vines

mellons and cantalopes.


There's a squash variety called "tatuma" that is resistant to squash
borers. Just be warned that the vines are aggressive and can run about 50
feet. They taste pretty good, though.

I have not seen these seeds in the stores. Is this a winter or summer
squash?

Summer, but I, too, would have to look for (or mail order) the seeds.
They sell the squash in the stores locally.
