RE: Wrath of the squash borers: Fall of the Cucurbita
I also have had my battles with squash bugs. I grow Matt's Wild as it is resistant to late blight, but it is a terrific reseeder, and one must stay right of top of the pruning to keep it from taking over the garden!
Do you have any tips for preventing reseeding for the next season? I try to harvest the fruit before it drops but I still end up with 50+ plants growing up in the spring.

I keep all my veg gardens deeply mulched with hay, so there's no reseeding. Plus I clean them out in the fall so there's nothing for pests to overwinter in.
