    What's good way to get rid of squash bugs? I've been getting the eggs off the plants daily and squishing whatever bugs I find. So far, plants are going strong but this yearly battle is getting old.

    It's true. I wish I had a better picture. We've picked over a thousand pounds off nearly 800 plants this week. And we can't keep up.

    I'm guilty of seeding massive amounts of pumpkins, squashes and zukes along the rail line green spaces, city gardens, empty lots and along the highways.

    Put all of my seed garlic in the soak last night and plan to get it in the ground today. About 2 weeks later than I would have preferred but travel got in the way.
