SEPTEMBER IS UPON US. Hopefully, we are still harvesting vegetables from our “kitchen gardens” or enjoying garden gifts from friends and neighbors. Did you plant a veggie garden? My tomatoes were a little slow this year but the cucumbers did great. The pepper plants took off after all that early August rain. My mom had a vegetable garden in Union City when I was growing up and I tasted my first “off the vine tomato” when I was about six. A neighbor picked it and handed it to me along with an envelope with some salt in it. Yum! Jersey tomatoes! Along with tomatoes, my mom also grew zucchini which became infested with squash borers. We learned how to cut them out of the stems and save the plants. It was my job to hunt them down and squish them. I have tried growing zucchini a few times with some success and some failures. It gets infested every time. Do you grow squash? Do you have any good ideas on how to stop the squash borers?
