  • Cucumbers - Are they finished?

    The cucumber growth has slowed down and the mature ones are smaller.

    There are still some small ones growing though I'm wondering if they will continue to grown given the change in the weather?

    Should I leave them or cut the plant down for the compost bins?

    Mine are not setting any more fruit, but I'll give the littlies a chance to grow before I call time on the plants.

        Mine are still growing. A bit smaller and slower but I will let them continue for now.

          I'd leave them for now,I've got two plants out there with small cucumbers on them,they're in a really open position near the bottom of my garden,in the ground. Yours look a bit more sheltered.

            I'd leave them - I am leaving mine although they have slowed down a lot. The weather is going to remain cold (for September) for a few more days then supposedly warm up a little, which might get them growing again.

              Passed Knowledge! Although the plant seems dead! They'll grow!

              Like "Lady P" I'd leave well alone n let em get on with it!

                  Mines in the GH border but they have been slowing down this past week, i'm leaving them to it until I need the space for my winter lettuce.
