Been talking with older locals - seems the game plan is to get the cukes in early & be ready to give it up by early July (yep, that's when they hit last year alright). No one seem to bother with a second crop even though the pickleworms seem to fade away after about 3 weeks. My second crop attempt succumbed to powdery mildew - must be the combined goodness of heat & humidity plus the occasional tropical storm just to tear things up a bit.
