Thanks for the new thread! :-)

Discovered yesterday afternoon that I have cukes. Planted the seeds as an experiment, just to see if they would “take”. They did.

Keep your Cukes well watered! Also, a shot of fertilizer with extra Calcium will benefit them - Cukes can get Blossom End Rot just like tomatoes, peppers and summer squashes.

I have a few dozen Baby Cukes on and the plants are climbing and blooming like crazy-mad. I’m down to my last few jars of Pickle Relish and I need to make Bread and Butter Pickles this season, too. I only do Cukes every few years.
