i'm having problems with my 845 Nesbitt. I've posted pictures in diary with questions.

Here is the questions from my diary:

This and the next 4 pictures are of my 845 nesbitt.These first three are of the plant, the next two after that are of some brown tiny like "eggs" i found on one of the leaves on a secondary. What are those brown things? I've noticed the last few days that the secondaries have been out growing the main. No problems with the main that I can find. The plant has been healthy from the get go. I come home today at 2:00 and find the plants leaves wilted over and drooping badly. Today the temp is the coolest in 4 days at only 80 degrees. I went for the water and gave it a shower anyway. It "perked" up a little. Only thing new i've done is 3 days ago it got some fish emul. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on the wilted and droopy leaves?
What are those tiny brown "egg" things I found on the leaves?

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I have a real cheap pen cam (only way for me to get pics on computer right now).

Thanks for any ideas on what the problems are and any suggestions to save my plant!

Is there a definite spot where the leaves start to droop? Like from where the eggs are...Check for frass an ooze coming from the plants in the area where the droop starts. It looked to me that the eggs where near the top of the leaf and could be squash bugs. but if at the base of the stem would lead to believe its borer. then there would be holes into the vine where that ooze is. have even saw where nematodes were injected into vine to get the buggers!! g1t has some good shots of squash bugs eggs do a site search and see if thats it. Good Luck ! Chuck
