ridge cucumbers

[Spunky]

Hello all sorry got a bit of a panic on, my ridge cucumbers are flowering and some of the flowers are going white and dying off
Is this a good or a bad thing im paranoid there not getting pollinated, there not very big only about an inch
Thanks

Don't panic!! Some flowers are bound to die off - you'll have male and female ones and you want the female ones to hang about - the males just do the biz and can pop off then.

Its the females

Do you have any male flowers? How big are your plants?

If you've got mini cucs, it shouldn't matter as it's done it's job.

There about 4 foot and plenty of male flowers, the cukes are only about an inch long, I popped out earlier to have a look and 90 percent of the female flowers have gine white and shriveled

Sounds like you have a non-pollination thing going on there, Spunky - I presume they are growing outside? What variety are they?

Not sure if you have to get a male flower and make like mother nature and do some dib dib dibbing into the female ones?
