Spot the squash vine borer egg. This one had the potential to destroy the entire plant, based on where it was located. Check early and often! #gardening [#veget (a.mindlycdn.com)

I’m a new gardener, can you give an answer where you circle it in red or something so I know what to look for :)

Unless I'm missing something, it's the teeny tiny brown dot above the bottom zip tie.

To be honest, vine borers were less of a problem than the GD squash bugs. I swear, last year's crop was all squash bugs, very little actual squash. I decided not to even try squash this year - the only thing they didn't eat were the birdhouse gourds, and I've still got plenty of those.
