One out of my 3 plants has most of the leaves drooping! The plant is dying from I think Squash Vine Borers! Should I pull out the dying plant? Will that plant effect my other 2 plants? Could you please help me this is my first time growing giants! Are the remaining plants doomed?

Bimmy, first i would take a real close look at the drooping plant.....check the vines, leaf stems, tendrils....basically everything....look for a sawdust type material oozing out of a spot on any of the above places. if you find that, then its probably borers.......if you dont find that it could jsut be that this particular plant doesnt cope well with the heat. first check your plant and tell us what you found, then we can go from there.

good luck
