wanted: want caserta squash seeds

17 years ago

Have trades, see my list.

If the seeds are viable, I want only about five for a project to make an organic death-trap for cucumber beetles. I'll save the seeds for the future, so just need enough to get started. According to research, cucumber beetles are really attracted to the smell of this squash. So it may be a squash you don't want anyway!

And that's great for my purpose. I want to grow the squash, remove an occasional fruit, make boats out of 2 halves, pour a little Sevin into the scooped out spots, and set them in protected places around the perimeter of the garden. These kinds of traps work with tayuya powder (a South American gourd) that you have to buy over the internet and mix in cups with Sevin. This will be cheaper and easier. Nothing is attracted to the "fragrance" of the Caserta squash except cucumber beetles, and they're the ones that die.
