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.
What can I do to keep my homegrown cucumbers from being bitter, especially on the ends? I have grown all varieties, and they always have a bitterness under the skin and on the ends. I have never bought one that was like that, either in the store or on a stand on the side of the road. From Cherry.
