Cucumber beetles showed up and wrecked half my cukes this year. I planted them right next to my Dill hoping I'd get mantises or spiders.....none. Dragonflies finally showed up when we had like 5 straight days of rain, but too little too late.

None of my cucumbers grew very well. I don't know why, but they were all sort of stunted and only one even started to fruit. I'm sure glad I didn't plant loads of them or this would have been very upsetting.
I was about to cull half my cukes, but in the end they produced far more than I expected
If you don't have any by now, you probably won't get any before the frost. You're what, zone 5a probably?
Our family garden cucumbers were looking like that but by the time the plants started really producing, the pickleworms showed up and it was over then. I hate those damn things...
