Kerry’s Garden

Yesterday I removed several zucchini vines that had Squash Vine Borer larvae in them. They were some of the early plantings so I pulled them and disposed of them in the trash. Today I found 3 more small plants with SVB and trashed those too. I could have treated them by injecting some Bt into the stems but they had already passed their prime and I have 3 more younger plantings starting to produce. Generally I overplant the zucchini so I will have some left after the SVB get through with them. I seeded some more today along with some more Spacemaster cukes. I still have to make some Sweet Relish this year and the peppers should be red by the time this last set of cukes is ready.
