What makes a cucumber plant go from this
to this?
The answer:
Actually, we can't put all of the blame on this little guy (although it was a regular occurrence to see him out there enjoying his breakfast). After talking to a local nursery, we learned a cucumber beetle and cucumber blight are also to blame. Well, it was fun while it lasted. We enjoyed 7 giant and delicious cucumbers over the past month! As for the good news, our tomato plant is doing great! It has grown so much that we had to tie it to the fence in several places to prevent it from tipping the pot over. We also have MANY tomatoes. It's expected to start freezing at night in a few weeks, so we hope they hurry and turn red!

Yay for gardens! I'm glad you got some cucumbers before it bit the dust and it looks like you'll have a good tomato harvest too:-)
I'm glad you got some to eat. It just shows that sometimes it doesn't matter what you do some critter takes advantage. We will just call you Mr. McGregor.
