I was at the plot at 9am this morning and my squash plants looked the same! Poor things, one extreme to another!

 :( Have been experiencing same wilting problems this last few days,  :( Have resorted to painting on cool glass at one end ( hate the appearance of the stuff) as well as my blinds, which has helped a bit but have also been damping the floor down too, even with all my vents, widows, doors & fans wide open it has certainly been hard for the plants !!!!............. ::)

:o Well I think if it was me, & it had 5yrs of weed growth I would start with the weed killer first, while the weather is dry (if it is with you) Then when died back clear all the dead top growth then rotovate if poss to take out initial back breaking digging, & keep that up until nice tilth achieved & as many weeds as poss removed. You may need to weedkiller a few times, but if you want to stay organic if you are only going to go that way then I think you may have lots of digging to do, I rotovated & weedkillered ,with great success a patch a few years ago ;D
