Thank you for sharing all this cucumber information!! This helped me understand why I have struggled so much with my cucumber plants this year. I started them inside for the first time this year and then put them out too early. Then I planted seeds and they didn’t germinate. We’ve had a strange stretch of weather this year with a lot of cool nights well into June. Now I have a bunch of seedlings coming up that I planted in grow bags. They look really good but I need to separate them out…….hmmm, may not go so well since they don’t like root disturbances. I’ll do my best and hopefully they will manage. I love fresh, garden cucumbers and it would be a real loss not to get any. Your plants looked great❣️Thanks again for sharing 💚💚💚
I hope they do well for you! I love fresh garden cucumbers too, so I was upset when I my first batch got eaten. But so far my new batch is growing well, and didn't appear to have much, if any, transplant shock.
Keep the wheat and harvest that too! lol I grew winter wheat one year for a green mulch, but kept several rows and harvested it the following July. We ended up grinding it and getting 5lbs of home grown wheat flour out of it.
If possible, I would let them grow in the compost. They may do really well there. I have had some beans and squash grow out of my compost pile that did great! That way you don't have to worry about transplant shock.
