Some gardens have to fight harder. High humidity brings powdery mildew. Summer heat arrives with squash vine borers. These varieties were chosen because they push back.
Resistance varies by variety and by the pest or disease involved. Compare each product’s growing notes before choosing: resistance to squash vine borers is different from resistance to powdery mildew. Cucurbita moschata varieties are generally less susceptible to vine borers than many other squash, but can still be damaged.
Resistant does not mean immune. Keep scouting plants, provide suitable spacing and airflow, and respond to pest or disease pressure when needed.

For squash vine borer pressure, compare Seminole pumpkin seeds and Long Island Cheese pumpkin seeds, or browse our vine borer resistant pumpkin and squash seeds. Their vine borer resistance does not establish resistance to mildew. Check each variety's notes for the particular pest or disease you are managing.
