[quote=Mojo;149189]It is de rigeur for me to grow eggplant and cucumbers. The squash may prove problematic, for two reasons. First, depending on the number of tomatoes i put in, there may be space issues. Second, the borers finally found my bed last year and I am told that once they find it, they come back every year if there's squash, so I may take the year off from that.


You might try Butternut squash. It is the primary winter squash gown in Virginia and Carolina because it is resistant to borers, and the darned things thrive in this area.
