You can try planting squash later in the year. Squash vine borers have only one or generations/year, their larvae stage lasts only 30 days and they are usually back underground & into the pupua stage by the end of July, or middle of August.

We plant Winter Squash in the remaining beds for other than a few tomato plants, we are done planting for this year. We can get most things we might want from the Amish farms for fresh produce.

So jealous of your grapes. At my first house we had two grape Vines that produced like crazy. Here, I have 3 and this is their second year. Nothing so far. Can't wait till they come around like yours.

I went out to let the chickens out and as I came around the corner I saw that I have a skunk in the live trap. I got him out of there by putting a tarp over it and brought the camera in to clear it. As I was clearing the images, I saw why I haven't caught that raccoon. I guess I haven't seen one up close but kind of like the movie Jaws, I need to get a bigger trap.

You probably have a big boar coon gracing you with his presence. He sure will be mad when you catch him!

I'm not sure the trap I got is strong enough but I can get a strong mesh one if this one doesn't hold him.

I saved a picture from the mp4 file. He doesn't look as big in this as he did standing tall but the container in the background is a 25 gallon container.
