What are you doing that works? We are growing squash, water 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. Bob Tatuma is delicious. :-) Now I just need to look for seeds! No, I'm not the OP, but I've had the same trouble so had just given up on even trying to grow squashes or melons. -- Peace!
