Hedre is my patch covered with row cover. I only have two plants and keep them covered until I want to hand pollinate. I covered them as the squash bugs started to come on and I found out on the internet their life cycle of eggs to nymph is 7-10 days so I check out all the leaves every 7 days and it is working. At first I had about 25 nymph, two adults and leaves with eggs. Yesteday I had 5 nymphs, no adults and no eggs on leaves. Plus I spray it with neem to help with the nymphs and also powdery mildew.
