Mine have been killed by vine borers, the past two years. This year it goes under a floating row cover.

Gary,
My plants lived just long enough to produce a few squash and then went down to vine borers. I have to say I found them rather bland compared to a butternut or buttercup squash. They kept well, though. Two lasted until the end of February out in the garage.

I hope your floating row cover works for you (keep us posted). Vine borers are a real problem in my garden and produce one heartbreak after another.
