Are you using a blue hubbard?

The moths are actually kinda pretty. I didn't have much trouble with them last year. But it took a lot of vigilance. Had to stay on top of spraying and manually plucking eggs off the stems. I injected BT weekly on the straightneck and zucchini. That wasn't feasible on the pumpkins. Luckily with the pumpkins they would rarely lay eggs on the main vine. Most of the time they were on the leaf stems and I would just remove the leaf if they bored into them. I'd love to grow some pumpkins again but I don't know if I'm going to go through the trouble this year. I may try some butternut. TBD.
