Title: Baby cucumbers shrivelling and turning crisp!
Post by: Lottie Digger on July 26, 2016, 17:08

I have had one full size cucumber but a lot of the rest have shrivelled and died despite plenty of water and feeding. Any ideas please ::)

It's been too hot, should be ok now we're back to 'normal'  :D

What variety are they?

Some need to be pollinated and if it doesn't happen the fruits will shrivel and die even though they might look promising to start with.
