Let's Give a Warm Welcome...

To Mr. Pokey, the Syringe of Liquid Death!

In previous years, I've spent countless hours searching every inch of the plant for signs that squash borers were destroying the vine from inside out.

Once I found the signs, I would carefully use a knife to cut open the vine or leaf and extract the grub. If the wound was big enough, I'd close it with duct tape.

This summer will be different. I will spent countless hours searching every inch of the plant for squash borers. But then, I'll inject liquid death straight into the plant using a syringe!
