Cucumber problems...
The last 2-3 cuc's i've picked are full of tiny little holes with some type of bug in them. I grow in a container and wonder what works best for the lil beasties?

My cukes get pickleworms late in the season and they make little holes in the fruit. Do you see little green worms in there? Try some Bt. It won't bother any of your beneficial insects, just worms.

I have NEVER seen a worm in a cucumber.
And I do see that the both of you live in more or less the same area. Strange!!!  Worth |
