Having harvested and eaten a few home-grown cucumbers, I am now cucumber free.
The local moths sensed the quality of the cucumber patch and laid their eggs. I awoke this morning to find my cucumbers riddled with caterpillars. They were everywhere. I cleared the patch to protect the adjacent tomato crop. Afterwards caterpillars were crawling out from under the patch mulch. No magpies came to help clean them up and I had to get rid of them myself.
The cucumbers I ate were delicious.
