2023 Squash Family (end of season notes)

Cucumbers produced yet remain a challenge, some plants hit by early wilt (even supposedly-resistant new pickling variety) and mildew (it was a wet summer), sprayed w/Bt in June & July, try planting seedings in other spots around garden again to avoid wilt.
Pumpkins did reasonably well this year (7 from 5 plants) despite borers being a problem again.
Watermelons were less awesome than last year, producing fewer – and smaller – melons; experiment with saved seed was successful, good germination from saved and left-over seed, try fertilizing next year.
Winter Squashes had a reasonable year, with some borers and critter damage at end of season (use mesh bags to protect), new Delicata attractive (5 from 8 plants), Honeynut plants very productive despite borers (15 from 5 plants), Butternut less productive this year (6 from12 plants), Futsu was interesting (3 from 4 plants).
Yellow Summer Squash both plantings did well, best variety to date for quality, quantity, and longevity; harvested for 7 weeks!
Zucchini both plantings did well (planted in groups in soil saucers) had some vine borer damage, plants nearest corn didn’t do as well (shift them away a little?), harvested for 8 weeks!
