To begin with your cucumbers are vieny,  they need to be put on a trelles or something of that nature.  We took wire stood it up by the plants and let them grow on the wire.  Second you must keep them sprayed with malthon 50%.  You can get a bottle at walmart.  Once a weel spray.

Cucumber beetles would be your bandit.  I combat mine using neem oil.  It's an organic pesticide that you mix with water and spray on the leaves.  The pesticide malathion, s mentioned in the previous post, could be used, but I prefer not to poison my family.

Can you plant spring bulbs early or is the fall the best time

It is not a good idea to plat spring bulbs too early (they might "hatch", grow a bit, find unsuitable weather and die). Plant them in the fall to give them the best chances to grow and flurish (they need the rains, the wetness and the proper temperatures).
