Hi busdriver12, I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. To set up your email link, just go to the bottom on any page here, and click on Member Pages Then click on Edit your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences You will then probably be asked to login in again. Then check the box Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site. That will place a link on your member page, making it handy for members (potential traders) to reach you in the future.. Happy Gardening and trading. Sue

EEEK Indeed! Ok, so I mildly panicked and ran out into the rain to see what was out there. I found 1 adult, and killed it good. Then I went through and scrapped off the eggs I could find. I see no evidence of borrowing, and I even sacrificed a squash plant to my panic that loked droopy [it's been raining HEAVILY for days, so I'm sure they just need a little sun] and there wasn't anything in there. First time I noticed these bugs [I'm quite attentive] was this past Sunday. I've only ever seen 2. I found about 20 eggs and got rid of them, mostly on 2 plants [not much on the other 8 or so squash plants]. I have been spraying weekly with neem oil every Sunday, but since it started raiing Sunday and hasn't stopped so I haven't sprayed this week. I assume that if I spray tonight or tomorrow [when it's supposed to clear up] it will kill the eggs and then there will be no burrowing, and the adults will stay away [again, they only showed up at the end of my 7 days without neem so i"m thinking if I keep spraying the chances of a fall squash feast are still good?] Thank you!

Hi again! Beautiful picture! :) TY! I'm using my phone to do this. I just tried to post a pic straight by taking the picture and it just goes back to the main page. Whenever I try to either take a pic or upload, I get the 4 options to use camera, camcorder, voice recorder or documents. My pics r in the documents and I've tried to just post from the camera, but it goes straight back to the main question pg, like I haven't done anything,!! I'm wondering if I need to download something else? It's not letting me to the chrome extension,! I'll report now. Sooo, the vines are ALL OVER, but now the bottom little "clusters", kind of like a giant blackberry & the bottom round parts, are turning black one by one! The tops r still green w purple tip. Doesn't smell like anything I know! My twitter handle is @DrBrittGalb & I've posted pics on there for help!! & IG, drbrittgalandlunablupom (drbrittandlunablu) Im new to it, so I'm not sure which name, lol. Thank u SOO MUCH for ur help,! They are taking over everything now so I REALLY need to figure out if I should move them or not! Can't get to other blooming plants! Ttys! Britt

If you still need a closer ID, than I suggest that as Cucurbita texana. (your local forestry agency should be able to totally confirm that) I wish I have those seeds to grow, would make a lovely decoration, so..... egg like.
