foiling the squash vine borer

They live to find squash plants. They can run, but they can't hide. Yeah, I kinda figured that anything called a squash vine borer would be good at finding squash. Normally, I hand-pick the eggs and fish out and freshly-hatched borers that escape my egg search. I'll find some pictures of what these guys look like. I don't know why I have such a lack of confidence in this area. Normally I find picking off bugs to be oddly satisfying. I suppose it is possible for my neighbor to be wrong. He's one of these awfully nice guys, someone I wouldn't mind chatting with longer. He and his wife are the only neighbors my boyfriend and I run into at the sort of local music and stage productions we enjoy. I've only seen his flower garden since his vegetables are in the back hidden from view, but it is lovely, really nice. I guess I jumped to the conclusion that he was the right person to go to for advice. I'm glad I've got y'all here on the 'Net for corrections. Best wishes for a quicker than usual recovery from your surgery. --Lia |
