Have you found your digtal stuff yet?

Here is a picture of the companions between my corn circles, and next to my winter squash. My understanding (and observation) is now that the radishes blooming deter the moth that lays the vine borers, and the ones planted newly around the base of the squash deter the squash bug.

But the only thing that seems to deter the squash bug is the smell of squashed squash bugs! About every three days, I get a new crop of them, and they get squashed too! I have nasturtiums planted betwen teh squash, but they don't like this heat and I don't know if they will make it...
