White Scallop Squash

Originally published Summer 2011

This is the first year that I grew any type of scallop summer squash.  This is a white scallop squash.  Last evening I treated the stem of each of my scallop plants with BT because I noticed what looked like the sawdust stuff the borers produce and push out of their holes.  The BT did squirt out of other areas of the stem, so the little worms must have been in there.  If the plants do not wilt and continue to grow, then I will know that treatment worked.

Squash bugs really like these plants – as they seem to prefer summer squash, c. pepo, in general.
