Re: (Fwd) Re: squash borers



Tell them to try planting their squash late in the season...mid to late 
July. The only problem with late planting is that they might get hit by 
squash bugs rather than borers. One way of dealing with the squash bugs 
is to avoid mulch and cover the planting with row covers until the 
female flowers appear.

It is a problem. I just buy my squash from the organic store or farmers 
here in Philadelphia and grow other stuff.
