Zucchini and yellow crooknecks don't really have vines.
They're more bush shaped.


oh! you're planting bush squash... that's different, then.
yes, it's *much* harder to find & control borers & they're
much more likely to destroy the entire plant. that's why i
don't grow bush type squash. both zuchinni & yellow crookneck
should be available as vining type, but you may need to look
for heirloom seeds.


Thanks. We may look into it for next year.

It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.
