My 3 big squash plants have succumbed to the squash vine borers again. I'm hoping the 4 remaining from Boy Wonder #2's garden area manage to stay alive.
One even had a cute little zucchini on it, growing so nice.
I had sprinkled cayenne pepper on the zucchini plant in hopes that it would cause the borer to leave. It didn't work. I suppose the borer was well enough ensconced that it laughed heartily (between munches on my plant) at my efforts to kick it out. I did manage to sprinkle some pepper on the little squash plants. Maybe that will help them to grow without getting eaten.
