      Squash bugs , the damn squash bugs are already hard at work(?)   
   breeding a new generation to decimate my squash plants . Well this year   
   I ain't havin' none of that . I have consulted with my garden center   
   horticulturist and gotten advice . I happen to have an OLD bottle of   
   liquid Sevin , from back in the day before they neutered it . Much as I   
   hate chemicals , I'm loosening my stand on this one . I've worked too   
   hard on this to see it go down the drain before the plants are even well   
   established . I'm going to have to be careful where and when I use this   
   stuff , it'll kill bees just as effectively as squash bugs . But I think   
   this is going to be my only recourse if I want to harvest that food for   
   us rather than fatten and increase the local bug community .
