I noticed one cucumber a couple months ago, was the first cucumber I grew, that developed a hole in the bottom of the cucumber. I pulled it off the vine at that time as I wasn't sure when to pull it off. I cut it open and didn't see any bugs inside... would that be a borer that dug about 1 to 2 inches into it, a nice tunnel? A borer or pickleworm would have moved right in and made itself at home. How wide was the tunnel? If it was quite narrow, perhaps a wireworm (click beetle larva) did some exploring. If it was wider, maybe a slug spent some time working its way in before moving on. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
