Bye bye yellow zucchini (squash vine borer)

Noticed over the last several days that the yellow zucchini plant had been fading.  Stems looked chewed up.  Today I noticed the little fruits were hollow or squishy.  Pulled the plant and sure enough, borers.  Oh well, the plant served me well.

As for the other zucchini plants -- the one near the fence and the one near the compost bin seem to be doing well -- slowing down, but still producing somewhat.  The other two, in the middle, look healthy and vibrant, but nothing is happening in the fruit department lately.  We'll see if they've been struck too.
