    do you do organic or other? Organic - use marigolds planted by the vegis , and or spray with a mixture of dish detergent & water (google it) other- use Seven dust.

    Your worms are coming from beetles that lay eggs in the vegies

    Are you sure it's not squash bugs? They burrow into the stems of the plants.

      whatever it is, we have beautiful plants & then they rot at the base of the plant & die

    Use Sevin dust. The plants have to be dusted when the plants are young.
