Have you got cucumbers on them, I don feed mine till I got fruit.
Yes they are full of them.
Min arent doing very well this year
Nanny Beach is right, it's been a bad year for cukes. Lots of threads about it, Logan was having terrible problems with hers and she's an experienced grower.
I've got yellow leaves on mine and the courgettes look to be going the same way. I'm no expert, I've been chopping them off when they get really bad. Only harvested one fruit so far.
I put 3 in a grow bag different varieties, one just keeled over all limp, so I replaced it. I put copper bands round the 3 the ---------slugs still had a go, and I didnt get one single cucumelon, germinate, last year they were fine. No room in the veg plot so got them in a greenhouse.Peppers are doing really well though.I like to think I am experienced been gardening about 45 years!!!!
ThAnks to all of you.last year I lost allmy pumpkins to slugs this year it's the dreaded lurgy.
Am growing pumpkins for the first time promised the Grandkids, so far folliage is huge!
So it's not just me battling with the old cucumbers then?! They are growing well (foliage wise!) and all have fruit but they are so small! The cucumbers actually dont seem to be getting any bigger at all! Feeding and watering but still no progress... My one courgette plant however is a monster and I've harvested three already - so strange!!
Saw a neighbour a few doors down today, he said he has picked masses of cucumbers, I havent got one fruit yet.
