As long as the dead mouse is in your home, the smell will get worse with time as the animal decays. So itâs important to find the carcass ASAP and get rid of it to stop the smell from getting worse. To locate the dead mouse in a wall or enclosed space, follow your nose.
Most cucumber plants contain compounds known as cucurbitacins (âkyew-ker-BIT-a-sinsâ) that cause fruit to taste bitter. At low levels, you arenât likely to detect them. But high levels of cucurbitacins produce extremely bitter fruit. Some cucumber varieties possess a gene that inhibits their formation.
Water your cucumbers every two or three days with a watering can. These plants have shallow root systems and drink water quickly, so water deeply so that the soil is moist but not soggy. Wait until the top layer of soil is dry before watering again. Over watering could cause the roots to rot or the fruit to become moldy.
