I was recently sent an email from a close friend, and if I hadn't known her so well I may not have tried this amazing cure.

I have broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts in my garden that are being destroyed by those awful green worms that are set there by the awful white moths seen all over in the summer. I am sure you are all familiar. I hate to spray anything on my garden and none of the "organic" ides worked, til now:)

The email gave a list of all the wonderful things that cucumber does from getting rid of headaches to defogging your bathroom mirror.

The one that just caught my attention dint away is...

Slice a cucumber and put on either aluminum foil pieces or an aluminum pie plate and set it around the plants that the slugs are feasting on. So, I had to give it a try. Of course, when I went out that day to inspect my poor plants and add the "cucumber cure" they were covered in the green worms (or caterpillars.) the first leaf I turned over had like 4-5 worms, one of which was Huge!! I left them all there and set my pieces of foil out. They are about 5 or 6 incessant square, and I put 5 or 6 slices of cucumber on them.

My brochure/caul bed is about 24 square feet and I added 5 pies of foil and cuke.

I returned two days later- NOT ONE WORM IN THE ENTIRE BED, at least that I could find, and I really searched high and low for them, trying to disprove the idea.

All I have done now for about two weeks is replace the cucumber part, as the local squirrels like to nibble them. I use the deformed cukes from my garden, they work very well.

So, I hope this is a new idea for everyone:) with my luck every e I. The world knew this 50 years ago and I just caught on:):):)
