squash bugs

Well, those pesky squash bugs have returned. They are destroying our squash plants. Can't do a thing about it

Well Tentfire had a flee market to get rid of her flees. Why don't you have a squash bug market to get rid of your squash bugs?

LOL, that is too funny! But very clever, ha, ha, ha.
I read several places that if you plant white icicle radishes (that variety works best) in a circle around each squash plant, it will keep the squash bugs away. You don't pull them, you just let them keep growing, even until they go to seed. Something about their odor the squash bugs can't stand. I am going to try it this year. Problem is, radishes got planted, now going to seed, but squash not planted yet. I sure hope it works, though. If not, I will have to try that Squash Bug Market idea.
