growing squash

Question

My butternut squash has wilting leaves and a white slime at base of the plants. Help!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your plants have bacterial wilt. If there are other squash family plants around it, it may also be in the other plants. You can try pulling it up, but be aware the other plants may already be infected.
