Nice video! I've done squash surgery like you demonstrated in years past and it works fairly well sometimes. I mound dirt over the damaged stem after removing the grubs. But this year I used the last tip you mentioned. I waited until the middle of July to plant squash and my zucchini looks great! No vine borers! I'm very happy about that. I'm just going to make it a habit to plant squash later and avoid the vine borers altogether.

You never mentioned injecting the stems with BT. This year the vine bores came down the leave stems as I had the main stems buried. I'll try injecting with BT as many other YT greats say this is the best method.

I need to figure out how to get rid of squash.

My new strategy this year is to start seeds indoors for a 2nd round of planting. I let the originals do their thing and produce until they started to die, and then I pulled them, replacing them with the new starts.

Wrapping the stems do not work for my garden unfortunately, they just lay it everywhere else. I pre-spray and pre-inject BT, I’ve used insecticide dust Diatomaceous earth, essential oils, sprinkling cinnamon and pepper, companion planting, wrapping, covering, even resorted to real insecticide, have borer lures in traps set up, put yellow bowls out, tried growing moschata variety, done surgery, they literally lay dozens of eggs a day and the life cycle never breaks here in the NE. They’re active from May-Sept! They are the bane of my gardening existence!!! I’m about to give up on squash, 😢

covering the squash with mesh works as well

I don't plant anything but resistant varieties of Cucurbita moschata and Cucurbita argyrosperma (butternuts and cushaws.) You can use these for summer squash as well although they've been bred to be winter squash.

I bet you would grow some awesome cannabis plants 😅

Thank goodness I don’t have these bugs but I do have squash bugs and cabbage moth butterflies and they are terrible creatures you can’t get rid of.

This is a really, really good video. I have never seen a pest extraction like this before. I was thinking about your foil defense method. How about spraying the stems with some sort of water based, organic paint? Like a pruning paint... I did this to prevent ambrosia borers in fruit my trees and it works well. This way they can't get under like the foil Keep up the good work!

I think it's referred to Trombone zucchini, which originated from Italy. A few years back I saw a video with an Italian grandma growing in. 😃❤️❤️❤️

Thanks For Watching! Comment What Video Should I Make Next!?

😃❤️❤️❤️

😊

Now I know why my squash plants are heading into the yard.

No wonder I couldn’t grow thyme. Thanks. 😊

More microplastic? No, thanks… It still breaks down, slowly, even if you can’t see it…

I didn’t know you could replant what you prune.

Good to know, thank you.

Thank you again. I have been adding milk but did not know to spray it for powdery mildew!

wont milk go sour in the sun

You rock. I see a great future for you.

Random fact corn is technically a fruit

I've heard anything in the purple/blue color is extra good for you. I forget at this minute what that component is called, but after I learned that, I only aim to consume purple cabbage, onions, grapes, etc. Idk, but I actually prefer those too

Very cool!

Wild lettuce?

I really like the idea of this.

That second plant is a wizard spell

❤❤❤

Well educated ,I subscribed to your channel. I harvest my garlic and plant there 2 varieties cucumbers already there, also testing melons 🍈, also I have seedlings of cabbage go there soon get cooler I can go, also my carrots spotting,looking good, and basil all come up ❤. All that go to place where I have garlic.

Came for the tips; stayed for them grippers ;)

You are such a smart handsome knowledgeable inspiration..thank you

Is it ok to get rid of some of the leaves too?

Very nice 👍

Thanks for the informative video!!! Can you make a video of what is good fertilizer to use on okra Eggplants tomatoes and what companion plant to use on each plants???

😃😍great info!!!

glad I found you. great info. I like how you offer different alternatives and invite people to try and see what works best for them.

If you grow good tomatos you can grow good cannabis.😊

Agree with other comments, you did a great presentation….clear, concise and adding in the “why” of planting in July. I’d recommend you add your location or zone as well - no cool Sept weather here in central NC. Keep posting! Note - your thumbnail was perfect and targeted the YT algorithm perfectly. 👍🏻

😍🍅🍅🍅😍❤

Nice to see your garden 😊

You made me smile! It's great to see younger gardeners making videos! Have you heard of Huw Richards? He started his youtube channel about the same age as you (I think.....) You guys are inspirational. Companion planting beans with the corn and pumpkins is great too. They are nitrogen fixers which help the corn and squash. The corn supports them as they climb. It's known as The Three Sisters.

From what I understand, since we’re eating the actual seeds, corn that cross pollinates will affect the eating quality THIS YEAR, not next year.

Aaahh i'm so excited to find another younger gardener on YT, and your video production value is amazing! Thanks for all the info and tips! I'm in WA zone 6B/7A and just sowed some double red corn <3

Great presentation. Well done.

Nice selection! Great video!😊

My mom is starting some flower seeds with a heating pad and a short dome. The temp of the dirt reads at about 102F, which I was trying to tell her seems high, but she says it’s ok. The Zinnia’s sprouted in 2 days, and some of the mixed cut flower seeds sprouted soon after, but seem to be dying off. What is too hot for seeds? And, when do you take the trays off the mat? As soon as you get little sprouts? Thanks

This is so cool!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡💚💚💚
