Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger
of state and corporate power - Benito Mussolini

This summer has been exceptionally hot, so I don't think the garden did as
well as last year. I planted 3 times as many green beans this year, but
still only harvested about 28 quarts or so. The tomatoes are just coming on.
I processed 30 pounds today when I got home from work, so there are 3
crockpots on my counter cooking tomato juice down to paste. I am hoping my
pumpkins do well. The heat is really getting to them, too - but it is
cooling off now in central Indiana.

Does anyone have any good advice for getting rid of squash bugs? Man I hate
those things! We are organic here, so is there anything I could plant or
encourage to grow that repels them?
