Squash vine borers usually finish spring plantings by early July, so plant a second round in late July or early August for clean fall squash, and wrap or mound soil over the lower stem to slow the borers down. Water at the base early in the day and give plants wide spacing, because powdery mildew is inevitable in Alabama humidity and airflow is your best defense.
