Ancient squash- geto okosomi

[flowerbug]

I used to have a terrible time with squash bugs.I mulched with leaves in may veggie garden back then.. I think that made the problem worse as they hide in the leaves. I have been using grass clippings and just last year weed barrier. I have may chickens forage all winter in the garden and that has reduced the population to a manageable level. There are many delicious vining squash to give a try to.

if i were the owner i'd have more varieties growing. i just work around what i can and let the rest go... i'm here to help out, by far i don't run the show...
