Curling tomato leaves may be a sign of a viral infection. Normally this
virus is transmitted through whiteflies or through infected transplants.

Love the weaving technique…a lot cheaper than cages! I’m gonna have to
try that!! Thanks and keep up the great work!!
@marito001 , we’re selling all the produce at the farmers markets. The
machinery and land is my buddies, we’re splitting the profits. So far I’ve
invested around $400. $60 for the plastic, $170 for the irrigation, $100
rain barrel, $60 mushroom compost , $30 seeds, $50 various composts
Great looking garden you had last year! You definitely experienced the
wrath of the dreaded SVB. I tangled with them last year too and my squash
were decimated, but I learned from the experience. You can remove the
larvae, if you catch them in time by: making a slit with a razor @ the base
of the plant, slightly above the damaged area is where you’ll find the bum
feeding on the plant. Take tweezers & pull him out, cover damaged stem with
soil and destroy the invader.
I would go with squash bugs too, but I thought they wilted because the
borer basically prevents the stalk from taking up water at all. I lost last
years entire crop, NOTHING I tried organic worked 🙁 I read about using
barriers like foil etc to prevent the larva getting to the stalk, but
haven’t planted squash this year, so have no experience there. There is a
moth that lays these eggs on the leaves, you may check for eggs too. Once
the eggs hatch the larva drop and then feed on the stalks.

The drip line is probably clogged at those squash that are looking bad…
they seemed dry. Check the emitters.

Foiler spray your garden with the Compost tea you make. It makes a great
pest control system and the plants love it.
