Can't personally answer your question regarding the SVB, but I can give a round of applause to the caretaker of the MM and plants.  clap

My suggestion is use the search feature to find numerous threads about SVB. Also, Google is your friend. Get some general info under your belt and you should be good.

I like how vertical your squash are! I know sanderson does that too, but I've never tried it. Show us more pics when your squash are further along -- it's fun to see them in tomato cages, something I would never have thought of.

Think about reinforcing your vertical frame so you can fasten hammocks under the bigger fruits as if left a while some will become up to 3 feet long by a good foot or more thick and weigh in at six or seven pounds or more .
 Keep up the watering regime a few liquid feeds of tomato feed at the rate for a fully fruited plant will make sure you keep up the high nutritional feed it needs as the fruits grow bigger & use more nutrients.

 other than my original "garden trust fertilizer" application at first planting ....the only thing I have done is apply a foliar "Organic Neptune Harvest Fish & Seaweed" on the foliage level a time or 2...thoughts?
