My phone died earlier but I wanted to add, I planted these cukes from 3 yr old seeds in early July. I waited until late to plant them bc all my research into organic pest management says the best way to rid yourself of squash bugs is don't plant the things they eat for at least 2 consecutive years. And then plant late enough that if there are any eggs left over, they will die before they can kill off the vines.
Soooo excited!!!! I haven't planted any cukes, zukes, squash, pumpkin in 3 years bc I lost almost 100 plants in less than a week to squash bugs.
