We had a terrible infestation of squash bugs (we call them stink bugs as they smell so bad) several years ago. So I haven't been growing any pumpkins, gourds or squash for the last couple of years. I'd like to try some ornamental gourds and maybe a few watermelon or cantaloupe this year. If I knew that the Chickies would eat the squash bugs I would be more likely to try them again.
