    Hi All,

    If both the web and my gardener are correct that
    Squash bugs hate the smell of onions, I now have
    transplanted two green onions in each of 12 ground
    pots hosting cucumbers and zucchinis. I went
    with Green Onions as I have a bunch of them
    (I prefer eating my Tokyo onions), they do not
    have bulbs, so no crowding out of the other
    plants, and they are really, really onion stinky.

    I am also thinking of cutting up a few green onions
    into a 5 gallon bucket of water, letting the soak
    for a few day, then pouring them, over my plants.

    We shall see. I will keep everyone posted.

    -T

    p.s. earwigs are not offended by my green onions.
