I also succession plant my summer squash so that the second crop is growing before the first one might die. Sometimes they get infected anyway even with injections but it takes weeks for the plants to die and I always get plenty of squash. I do not use Sevin. I garden organically.
I try to garden organically as well, but the squash bugs and early blight have kicked my behind three years running. I'm looking for alternatives to Sevin and Daconil. I'll get there -- I hope. I want the syringe so I can try injecting BT rather than using the dust to stop the SVB. Thanks for the info.
