seasonal perils correction
Sorry folks
What I have is some version of The squash bug
<http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/Graphics/cucurbins/sqbug.htm>
(/Anasa tristis/), not the beetle.
Stinks like crazy when you squish it. Sea foam green body fluid. Yuch!
This links to a pretty good picture of what I have...

Greetings all,
I have a few questions about this big pumpkin hobby of mine.
1) How common is it to loose your whole crop?
I had beginners luck 1 out of 4 years.
2) Can you win the squash beetle war?
I have been carefully inspecting twice a day: squishing beetles and
scraping eggs.
3) What is your favorite method to combat bacterial wilt?
I suppose I could read the archives. I am a fan of organic
techniques, but not exclusively. This year effective is critical.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
