I've gotten two reports of squash beetles today. It's battle time.
I've heard one strategy is to bury the squash (this works for cucumber, zucchini, and melons) with soil so that it will sprout new roots at these intersection and prevent damage at one point in the vine to kill everything that is growing past there.
