Zucchini Appears To Be Recovering From Squash Vine Borers
Several posts ago I showed a picture of a zucchini plant that was wilting probably because of the evil squash vine borer. I have treated all sizeable summer squash plants numerous times with in-stem injections of BT. These 2 zuchs look like they recovered enough and are trying to regrow. They should have an excellent root structure to build on. Look at those new leaves ! The old, dead yellow leaf stems are still visible. (The white powder at the stem is diacatamous earth to try to cut down on the excessive pill bug population – it seems to be working).
And:
What could have been, look at this beautiful zucchini. Absolutely wonderful. I don’t expect the damaged plants to attain such stature, but I do expect production out of them. (You can see the 2nd above damaged plant off to the bottom right side, by the Marigold).
