For some reason, after getting off to a great start, some of my squash plants are wilting and dying for no apparent reason.  Here’s a picture I took today:

Any idea what gives, what I can do to fix it, or failing that, what I can do to prevent it from happening to the other plants?  Watering doesn’t seem to help, and I don’t see any obvious signs of pest infestation.  Any ideas?

TIA.

    A possible cause of your squash plants wilting is that they may suffering from root rot. Make sure that the soil is loose & that the plants drain well. Just a possibility.

    I wondered about root rot, but the soil there is quite loose, and there’s excellent drainage.
