The casualties are mounting. The acorn squash...GONE. The Hubbard squash...GONE. Some small pumpkins managed to survive. The yellow squash and zucchini are struggling. We are still getting a few, but it's tough and now powdery mildew has joined on the side of the enemy.
The butternut squash are the heroes this year. True to the promises of the seed catalogs, they seem to be borer resistant. We will regroup for a new onslaught in the spring. We have all winter to prepare.
