RE: A Flood of Cucumbers

Yes, very important. I also do what I can to attract pollinators. There is something weird happening in this region, not just my garden, where most people have to hand pollinate zucchinis, pumpkins, watermelon, even passionfruit. There are lots of bees around as well as other bugs, my garden is swarming with things most of the time, yet for some reason, things aren't pollinating. It's the middle of winter here and birds have started nesting and fruit trees have started blossoming. Everything is very confused. It's a bizarre phenomenon that I haven't heard a good explanation for as yet.

That's scary. I hate to hear things like that. Hopefully things will correct back to normal but who knows with what's going on these days.
