There was some good discussion here a few weeks ago about Seminole. As a moschata species winter squash, it doesn't have hollow stems so, like Butternut and Tromboncino (also moschata), is pretty SVB resistant. It's supposed to be delicious. Some say better than butternut. It's a native plant in z10, so is supposed to be hard to kill. I'm trying it for the first time this coming season. BTW, winter squash in general is *not* SVB resistant. Look for the moschata species of winter squash. That's what is SVB resistant. Acorn is not moschata. It's pepo. Don't know about Cushaw. I think both have some SVB resistance, but nowhere near as good as true moschatas.

See this thread from last season with another control option, if you wanted to try something else. Both myself and another poster had success beating the SVB: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/3230732/squash-vine-borer-success?n=39

The Bt should also kill pickleworms, and is organic.

I have the same troubles, but am learning some ways to get around them. First, I wouldn't personally recommend tromboncino if you are a yellow squash fan. If you like zucchini, then yes, it's a good replacement. It has tremendously long vines.

Growing moschatas is the trick. You will have no problems with SVB with them. Their stems are solid and the worms don't bother them. In 2015, I grew Tahitian melon, which I learned is virtually identical to the Pennsylvania long neck squash. It/they made delicious squash for pumpkin recipes. I could not be more pleased. The squash are very large and baked down into a stringless, flavorful squash. I prefer their flavor to butternut for sure, but you may feel differently. I am going to try yellow crookneck this year in the hopes that I have gotten rid of the SVB for the time being and might actually get something to eat this year. We will see. I tried hand pollinating them in 2014 and it works, but once canning season started, I couldn't keep up.

Pickleworms don't bother my squash, but they always bother my cucumbers. If I plant early on I will get a good harvest before the pickleworms arrive here in early to mid July. Then if I wait six weeks, I can replant and have a good fall crop of cucumbers too. I tried growing parthenocarpic vines last year and growing them under cover, but trying to keep the sprawling vines covered was a time consuming task.

P.S. Also the result of a recent thread - Tromboncino is good as *either* a summer or winter squash. That is, if you let it mature, and turn fully beige, it will last for many months after harvest. Just like Butternut. But yes, moschata squashes in general have very long vines. Their growth pattern is completely unlike zucchini. So your garden layout will be different. I find them kind of handy, in that I can allow them to snake between lots of plants. Makes a nice border for the vegetable garden.

That's a good idea about Tahitian melon squash (also moschata). I have not grown it yet, but I believe it has a lot more flavor than Tromboncino, but like Tromboncino, it has a long seedless neck, which is really handy for cooking.
