Brownish spots all over the leaves. Please refer to picture and explaination on Grower Diaries under Quinn. Does anybody have any suggestions so I don't lose the plant?

Quinn~ those small small brown spots that i seen in the pic seem to look like squash bug bites, since the bites from this bug actually infects the plant with some sort of toxin or something so the area around the bite usually turns brown, ive seen this allot on my plants also, but not on all leaves of the plant, im not shure if thats what this is but i would really look for squash bugs under the leaves and also eggs, bunches of small bronze color eggs under the leaves, anyway i hope i helped. ~Bill

Sevin will kill the baby Squash bugs (stink bugs) but I find it doesn't kill the adults. I squish them with my fingers and then enjoy the nice smell of a dying stink bug. If you put boards down in your patch the adults will hang out under the boards. Just flip the boards over once every other day or so and squish away.
