@cornne, Do you cut off any of the large leaves to help give energy to the cukes?

@cornne , Do you cut off any of the large leaves to help give energy to the cukes? If they are crisping up. |

Ok great! I will keep an eye out. No tendrils YET I got vines in week 4, so don;t be surprised if you wake up tomorrow or the day after and find a vine wrapped around something! LOL |

I mentioned a few posts back that I did not have any tendrils yet and Corinne stated the following:
Well look what I found last night. Apparently it grew sometime from when I looked in the morning and last night when I looked.
So in order to try and get it to go toward the trellis I placed a dome on it to aide it its journey there.

I find that using my Bee around the flower and unfertilized cuke produces more cukes. Even though the pollen doesn;t have to be carried male/female, I think just upsetting it a bit within the indiviual flower makes a difference. I dunno. A true plant grower would probably chuckle and shake their head at that one. But, hey..it works for me!

I used the Bee the Pollinator. I also cleaned up the dried up leaves and flowers. And them latching on. |

There are so many tiny cukes. One is a little over an inch and is starting to plump.  |
