On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share a common mistake new gardeners, and even some experienced gardeners, make that can kill their squash plants. Squash, zucchini and other cucurbits are vulnerable to insect pests, but many gardeners miss pest infestations, because they are looking in the wrong place. This video will teach you how to spot pest problems on squash plants and how to control pests naturally.

To the untrained eye, my zucchini plants looked perfect, but they were hiding a big squash bug infestation. We got rid of the squash bugs and their eggs in their seconds and treated the plants to prevent damage. Now that we know what to look for, we can check the plants daily to ensure no further squash bug problems or any other insect problems occur.
