I have more of a brown thumb than I do a green one (sigh!?).

Stupid question (?) -- is it alright to use a good, thick layer of
cypress mulch around the base of cucumbers & cantaloupes to keep weeds
at bay? I've never used mulch around either (or anything for that
matter!), so I've no clue.

When is it NOT a good time to use (cypress) mulch (on anything?)?

TIA.
