Dex Posts: 596 Forumite
Hi All,

It's my first year really growing anything and it's all going pretty well, I've grown most thingsa from seed and apart froma couple of slug attacks everything is flourishing except one of my cucmbers, I bought two mini cucumber plants from a garden centre and put them in a growbag with my courgette plant, the courgette and one of the cucmbers are doing really well but the cucumber in the middle hasn't grown an inch, it's not yellow and doesn't seem to be dying it just hasn't budged in about 5 weeks, the gorwbag is under a cloche(spell?) I was worries it was a bit warm but after taking it out for a week still there is no difference, any ideas would be greatfully received, has anybody grown mini cucmbers, is this normal?

Thanks

Dex

    None of my plants have grown much in the last few, i figure it's just been abit cold and wet so they are being stubborn.

    thanks Taye, it's just weird that one has grown and the other hasn't and they are right next to each other and have been treated in the same way :)

    Got three plants outside, four in a coldframe. Out of the three outside, two died immediately and one is doing well. Courgettes & pumpkins going from strength to strength, cucumbers in cold frame have got a bit bigger, but still a slow start. They need a constant temperature to really do well. Courgettes etc are much more hardy.

    I'm in Essex btw.
