They are always much happier when watered from underneath. Mine went wilty a few times when they were smaller but perked up when stood in a tray of water and moved into the shade (still in the greenhouse). They have been out in the unheated greenhouse since April and have been fine. (although I did put a heater on very low on frosty nights)

That makes an awful lot of difference!

I sowed 6 seeds, 100% germination, and every one of them grew big and strong without a single check so far - just like last year

which variety are you growing Shokky, cos some of them can take cooler temps and I'd love to know which is which

Mine are cucumber socrates and the pack said will take cooler temps

That's good to know - I have a few of these (which I started a bit late so they're still only tiny) but it wasn't a variety I'd heard of. Gives me hope!

Mine were draped in double fleece so I was a bit surprised to see them wilting due to cold. Also two of the plants are fine so not sure that it's anything to do with being cold.
