2. He ate the cucumber leaves

He ate my kale leaves. He chomped down some red leaf lettuce. He didn't eat any tomatoes, but he did take a bite off the top of one young plant that has no tomatoes on it yet.

As far as the beetles go, I never saw any beetles on the plant, so I don't know for sure that it is a virus, but I'm pretty sure it is. Will have to start all over with cucumbers and enclose them in a plastic tent. Cucumber beetle is fatal and there's no cure.
