Hopefully you will check this tho because I found something I thought might be helpful to you with your squash situation. Another blog I just started reading has quite a list of natural pest remedies from companion planting to natural pest sprays (like lemon balm and powdered kelp). Here's the link: http://wellnessmama.com/2524/organic-gardening-natural-pest-prevention-and-control/<br /><br />Hope all is well and good luck with your homestead this year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209373343814651898.post-90299686248809045772012-09-16T19:36:08.481-04:002012-09-16T19:36:08.481-04:00It is ginormous!
