Pirl....that's a good idea...I'll try that and see if anything happens...unfortunately the raised bed it's in is not very big so my tomatoes are in the back of it with the trellises since they are the cherry type of tomato...I can't put any trellis with the cucumbers because it would block the sun for the tomatoes behind them....the cucumber plants were bush type and since I have never really grown anything other than tomatoes I didn't have a good idea of how big they get....the information tag on it gave no indication of height or width only that it was sized for pots and small areas....well they are all over the place....I did put small tomato cages on them and have some of the vine growing up on the cage but I guess I should have gotten bigger cages...the cucumbers being eaten are close to the ground but I've seen no slugs or snails or signs of their telltale snot trails as I call them....I had seen a couple of Cucumber Beetles on them and crushed them when I found them but I have not seen too many...mostly those Beetles like my roses which are being affected in that they chew around the edges of the roses or they are smaller in size than usual....I haven't seen mice around and I do have three cats so if it is mice those cats better earn their keep...LOL....I may call my local agricultural center to see what they say...Thanks for your advice!
Thanks for your
