One way to stay ahead of SVB damage is the practice of succession planting to keep your squash harvest going.



In a bad year the squash vine borer can do your summer squash in before you get a decent harvest. If I think that might be the case, I start a new crop of seedlings each week or two. Squash is easily started from seed, especially when it is already warm outside. Plus, the seedlings grow really quickly.




Seedlings.


Once transplanted, growing quickly.
