6. Were your plants dying from the ground on up?

I had good growth especially with the cucumbers.

Then one plant (and then another…) started dying from the grown on up.

I realized the something killed the plants from the roots. I saw a grub or two last fall, and this spring I realized that I was infested. When I saw them in the main bed, I knew, I have a problem.

Save your worms! So far I have not seen a problem with a lack of them. *thank goodness**
