I'm a new gardener and before I knew what was happening, squash bugs took over my beautiful winter squash plants. There are a few leaves left. I squished the eggs that I saw and have been trying to kill the bugs.

Once this happens, is there any hope for the plants?

The squash themselves look okay. I'm wondering if I should pull up the plants or leave them alone in hope that they will put out some new shoots.

I will pay better attention next year!
