Beginner Gardening: Do squash borers stick around?, 1 by Horseshoe

If you have room I'd let them crawl up something; they're a beautiful landscaping plant as well as great edible. (Pic below shows a plant growing up a telephone pole support wire!)

If you need to control their growth I would allow at least a couple flowers/squash on the vine before you pinch it back. I never tried pinching them as I have lots of room here. New fruit tends to grow on the vines after the first fruit so you want to allow more growth for more squash. Is there any way to put some posts in the ground and train new growth upwards instead of letting it sprawl?
