I'm not too hopeful for the squash bugs.  Yup.  Not just my pumpkins,
they basically went after all the squash type plants.  They even took
out a Zuchini!  What kind of critter kills Zuchini?!  THATS just plain
MEAN!  I suppose I should call someone at the Extension and ask for
some help.  I tried the chemical approach, which didn't work...that's
usually my last approach.
