The big zucchini plant near the air conditioner is gone. Pulled it out today as it was clearly almost all dead. Looked inside the rotted stems and sure enough, squash vine borer.
I guess the aluminum foil I had set down on the ground around the plant months ago didn't work! Oh well, at least I tried it.
Next year, maybe I'll try garlic spray.
The other plant, although the stem also looks a bit rotty, has no sign yet of going downhill. Well, zucchini growth/production has slowed somewhat, but one should be ready soon and the leaves still look normal and healthy.
