The zucchini plants are growing nicely. They started producing flowers this week. I picked my first zucchini yesterday, chopped it up and made a zucchini frittata. Yum.
No signs of Squash Vine Borer yet, but it’s still early. I can never catch the moths or their eggs until it is too late.
This year I have staggered my squash plantings with the zucchini in first, the gords a few weeks later, and a second crop of zucchini now growing in small pots to be put in the garden beds in a few weeks, after the borer has presumably laid eggs and moved on. Also, I’ve planted the zucchini in a new garden bed so the moths are not already in this soil. It’s a constant battle to get my plants to stay healthy, but I’m not giving up.
