The rain we have been having is making it difficult to keep the Sevin dust on the stems so the vine borers are probably already in them by now; but I'm a bit tired of them now anyway. They are also so huge that I have a hard time getting past them. Despite all the rain and high humidity I haven't had any big mildew problems this year. This is only the second year that I sprayed them every week or so and both years the squash have done so much better than in the past. I think the more frequent spraying has stopped any of the diseases from getting a good start on the plants.
