That didn't work either. 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. I have not seen these seeds in the stores. Is this a winter or summer squash? Bob Summer, but I, too, would have to look for (or mail order) the seeds. They sell the squash in the stores locally. -- Peace!
