The squash vine borer resistant varieties experiment was both a success and a train wreck. Not only did we have some casualties, but we had an awful gardening year in 2022. Squash Bugs and Squash Vine Borers are a constant threat. However, drought, late unseasonably cold weather, early & incredibly long subsequent heat waves, Cucumber Beetles, and lethal/prevalent fungal infections really us hit hard, back to back. Many varieties were considered a success; some will need to be grown out for a second time during 2023 for me to be able to form a concrete opinion on their success as a summer squash substitute that evades the squash borers. Definitive losses to the borer include Lechebnaya & Tatume (but shows reliable resistance.) Potential losses include Dickinson Pumpkin & Zhdana Pumpkin. High performers in regards to borers include Tatume Squash, Long Island Cheese Squash, Rampicante Squash, and Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck Squash.
