Baby cucumbers shrivelling and turning crisp!

« 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'

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.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
