    :eek:Getting the same this year with my crop. Think it comes down to temperatures fluctuating too much. Not too late to sow more seed, and hope the growing year is extended to make up for such a lousy start. :j

    Hope you have p-ricked them out already.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I planted two cucumber plants out in in my garden in late May but they only lasted about 2 weeks before shriveling up. I also kept two in my greenhouse and they are doing well.
