Re: Pumpermelons?

        Speaking of Insect problems, Last year the squash bugs came.  When I
found thier corpses on the leaves left from my insecticide, I gathered them
up and impaled them on toothpicks and stuck them in various places in the
garden.  Scares the hell out of other potential predators.
