   Squash bug repellent is in place!

   Hi All,   
      
   If both the web and my gardener are correct that   
   Squash bugs hate the smell of onions, I now have   
   transplanted two green onions in each of 12 ground   
   pots hosting cucumbers and zucchinis.  I went   
   with Green Onions as I have a bunch of them   
   (I prefer eating my Tokyo onions), they do not   
   have bulbs, so no crowding out of the other   
   plants, and they are really, really onion stinky.

   I am also thinking of cutting up a few green onions   
   into a 5 gallon bucket of water, letting the soak   
   for a few day, then pouring them, over my plants.   
      
   We shall see.  I will keep everyone posted.   
      
   -T   
      
   p.s. earwigs are not offended by my green onions.
