Cucumber chewed at base
9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago
This is my third and last cucumber plant to be killed by some critter. Each plant has been chewed at the base of the plant. These plants were about 1.5-2 months old and this one had two 6" cucumbers on it. So at least I got some cucumbers from it. At first I thought maybe gophers since there was a small crater but when I dug I saw no tunnels. What could have done this?
