Holes in yellow summer squash
I am raising yellow summer squash. After five weeks of harvesting beautiful squash I now have small holes that go all the way through the vegetables. Can’t see any pests. Can you please help?
Thank you,
Connie

You have me stumped. Could you send a photo of the damage? How large a hole? More than one per squash? My first guess is a worm like larvae. Try checking the plants at night with a flash light.
Keep growing,
