Learned a new word today... frass :(


About a week ago my zucchini started losing leaves, this weekend there seemed to be some sort of disaster going on. After researching on the internet I found out that I have frass… the results of squash vine borer. So that’s the end of the zucchini. I’m not too upset though I’ve gotten more than the seed cost of harvest so far this year, I was just hoping for a few more.
Next year I’m going to look at some prevention techniques. I was reading about several methods from floating row covers to creative usage of women’s panty hose.
