OP GiselaT Member G Joined: Mar 2005 Cleveland, Ohio	Okay -- if I see them this year, they're gettin' stomped. I'm going to guess that it must be the squash bug, since I planted 6 kinds of squash and two kinds of pumpkins last year and didn't get one single squash or pumpkin... So, the squash bugs are gonna be squished bugs! Thanks Ladies! Gisela
