Meg is my sunshine! I am so glad she joined the Epic team!
Pausing the video to say how delighted I am to see you interviewing Meg!!
Best answer to squash vine borer is to let the squash be a squash and roam wherever it wants (to a degree.) Trellising the plant leaves it with a single point of failure. I have the borer in my area every summer and I have never lost an entire plant to them because it roots all over the place. Especially where the fruit pins down the vine.
Meagan, you might try wrapping your squash vines in black tulle, especially when they're young. You can get an entire bolt of it off ebay for less than $10. Bugs of all kinds can't get underneath the folds of the tulle without getting caught in it. I recommend the black because it disappears into the landscape. Just remember to rewrap your vines as they grow so they remain protected. And, definitely bury the vines at as many joints as possible. These two things have been the best defenses against SVB for me here in N Texas. Also, I grew the Seminole pumpkin last year for the first time and cannot recommend it highly enough. It was extremely prolific and probably the most delicious squash I've ever eaten. I actually crave it roasted with s&p and garlic olive oil. Delicious! Good luck fighting the vine borer! ~ Lisa
Seminole pumpkins are amazing! Yes, I use tulle as well to keep insects off plants.
I love these longer series videoes ❤️🙌🏽
Love Meg!
Enjoyed the podcast, ty!
Great conversation! Meg gives me hope I will be successful in time.
Joseph Lofhouse might be able to help you out with toxic squash syndrome, he does Landrace Gardening, and I guarantee you he would know a thing or two about that.
Never heard of TSS. WONT b making a pie out of just any pumpkin from halloween. Will do taste test first. Thx.
Dude that's wild
💚💚💚
Awesome way to enjoy my Friday night 🤓 😂 Thank you for being you! 🤟
Toxic squash syndrome is rare...at least that's my understanding. Most cross-polinated squash is fine.
I think peanuts like sandy soil. Maybe you could do some digging and find out.
I don't even care for squash that much. It's okay. Maybe it's time to find a replacement for squash. It can make you sick maybe even unto death and make your hair fall out. If something that we call a vegetable can't be crossbred with another squash or whatever, without making a sick, bald, or dead then maybe it's something we shouldn't be entertaining to begin with.
Feed it to your chickens and see if they end up naked 🤣
