Wow Claire, your determination is amazing. I don't know if I could spend the time and energy required to conduct that kind of surgery on my squash plants - I just hope for the best! :)

I have been reading a little about companion plantings lately, and have read that nasturtiums and radishes planted nearby will help keep the bug away - though I don't know why.

Check out this link I dug up after some googling: http://www.organicgardenpests.com/organicpestcontrol3.html

I'm pretty sure my previously beautiful zucchini is toast. It wilted yesterday, and although I had mounded up the soil around the wound and kept the dirt soaking wet (and even rigged a little shade tent to keep the plant out of the blazing sun), it hasn't perked back up. It hasn't gotten worse, but I can't imagine a recovery at this point.

Bastard bugs.
