Looks like vine borers have hit my zucchini as well. Plant looked great this morning, and half wilted now. Far earlier than they'd hit the few times I tried growing them at our old house. I was able to at least get a decent harvest there before they got the plants. Picked up a Mad Hatter/Bishops Crown pepper plant from Home Depot last night so guess I'll be pulling the zucchini and placing the hatter there.

I have found my biggest 2 producers in the full blown heat of summer are my peppers and okra. The hot varieties do especially well while the milder bell peppers will suffer from sun scald pretty easily. I typically have at least 60 okra plants and will pick damn near a pod a day from each plant when they are in full swing between July and late September.

By mid June, early July my tomatoes are done, pole beans are heading out as are my cucumbers.

Squash are long gone due to SVB's-----IF I even plant them because of the borers.

When did you plant them? Mine are just getting their true leaves (planted 2 weeks ago)
