For some reason the cucumbers are having a hard time vining. The reach really well, but never latch on. I'm forever trying to train them up by looping the tendrils even at this late stage, which hasn't happened before.
This is in one of my two new boxes that has less sun in the summer than I originally thought (around 4 hours now, who knows about June and July). I'm thinking it has to be a lack of sun and they're just straining.
The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams.

I have found that the cucumbers tendrils don't latch on to anything. You just have to weave the vines in out out of the trellis.
ReplyDeleteThey look healthy and ready to spread far and high. good luck.

They do look great, though!
ReplyDeleteI always have to help mine get started, and even give them a little help throughout the season.
ReplyDeleteI always help my cukes get started. They have such issues at the start.
ReplyDeleteYour cucumbers look very healthy! I always have to coax the vines up into the trellis. They seem to want to run along the ground more heading upwards. The will latch on eventually.
