There are several like this on a couple of hill. The other pick shows the base of the vine, this one was wilted real bad this morning.

I honesty used to feel the same way until about 8-9 years ago. Now I bet I eat squash or zucchini 3x a week. I usually slice em about 1/4” medallions, toss in a little olive oil and coat with a little Tony Chacheres. Toss a lot on it if you like some heat. I cook until they just get a little crisp. Sautéed in the skillet with onions and mushrooms is dang good too.

I was hoping they would starve to death but no such luck.
