We managed a few pictures of some of our winter squash this season. While it was not our best winter squash year, we managed to get a reasonable crop. Earlier in the year, we had a much higher population of cucumber beetles than we've seen in the past. As a result, a significant percentage of the seedlings perished as the beetles girdled the plants. If that isn't bad enough, these insects are a vector for bacterial wilt. So, if the plants survived being munched on, others died from disease.
