Title: Re: vine borers
Do you take the cover off when flowers appear?  Does the fruit develop without pollination?
Thank you!

What you want is a stout, fully grown plant when you unveil it to the world. Such a plant can stand a few baby borers in its veins and will not fail to give you fruit. Also, I understand that the egg laying period of the adult borer is relatively short, so, if you can keep your vines protected until mid-July, your chances of zero borers is very high. (I hope!! ;-)
