Cucumber plants still alive? - 08/14/22 12:56 PM
Any of you guys still have cucumber plants from this spring still alive? Mine are still alive and doing well. I don't think I've ever had any live this long. Usually some sort of disease or insects have killed them. I have noticed that the cucumbers aren't as good now as they were. The seeds are maturing faster than they were earlier in the year. I planted a later planting so they'd kick in when the first ones died, but now I ended up just having twice as many cukes. The production has really slowed on both sets of plants over the past week, but we're still getting plenty to eat. Since this was my first year with raised beds I wasn't sure what to expect. Even though the boxes are where my garden has always been, disease problems on tomatoes and other things have been almost non existent. Squash vine borers still killed all my squash and zucchini, so nothing new there.
