My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The Borers are Back!

17 years ago

Having just replaced the mildew-laden, borer scarred veteran summer squash with my July planted hills (just developing their first female flowers now), the borers have come back.

This time they're after the winter squash (especially the Lumina pumpkins), as well.

Southeasterners check your squash. Bt and VIGILANCE!

;-)
