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.
A tropical vegetable, cucumbers thrive when the weather is hot and water is plentiful. Growing cucumbers is for warmer weather: Plants are so frost-tender that they shouldnât be set into the garden until soil temperatures are reliably in the 70-degree range (no less than 2 weeks after the last frost date).
