The ‘‘hills” for Pumpkin and Squash are not 
raised above the surrounding level unless the 
land is wet. Normally, ‘‘hills” are flat. 
Both are attacked by the Squash Bug. Hand- 
pick, and spray with Rotene or dust with Hortex. 
The Squash Vine Borer causes local wilting; 
slit the stem lengthwise, remove grub and 
anchor the stem with a spadeful of soil.
