First harvest!! And here I was SOOOO worried about pollination. This is the work of bees, not me.

So the bees shall get all the credit here. But the Squash Vine Borer battle has only just begun.

Dear Squash Vine Borers, you got all of them last year, this year I'm a step ahead of you. I have declared war on you. You have made a 4×8 space in my peaceful garden a war zone. You have made me, a peaceful gardener into a militant man. You can mess with my house, you can mess with my car, but you don't mess with my plants. – Warmonger Gardener

    They look great! I’m also going to try growing vertically this year so I’m glad to see an example of it going well! Any tips or warnings?

    What do you have lining the bottom of this garden bed ?

    What are you doing to fight the borers? I’ve resorted to having my squash netted and I hand pollinate only

    Awesome harvest. It’s weird that they are so called vining but don’t really climb much. Mine spread more so. Do you feel like they really need to be against a trellis or would a stake suffice?

    I feel like I could have made this post lol. Last year borers got all my plants and this year I got ahead of them and the bees have been going crazy on them! Happy for you ❤
