Hello all! ALLL my zucchini plants (6 for sure and another 3 probably) are dying and I have no idea why. I've been googling and it could be bacterial wilt, powdery mildew, and squash vine borer...and many other things....but which is it? what do I do?

Well, to start with, do you see evidence of squash vine borers? Hole, sawdust-like debris, anything? The powdery mildew would be slow acting and not a collapse like that. A good spot to start is HERE.

Look for more holes and/or sawdust-like debris where a hole was bored and if you find any fish a wire up into the hole to spear the bugger.
