I’m not sure if you meant you didn’t like the flavor of cucumbers at all, or if you didn’t like the flavor of those particular cucumbers that year ... but I would mention that cucumbers are one of those fruits that will taste bitter and nasty if the plant has not received sufficient water. The bitter taste will actually present itself before the plant wilts or shows serious need for water.
Thanks for that bit of wisdom on cucumbers. I have noticed that since we moved to Tx, the cukes in the stores here are bitter and have since stopped buying them. I guess we should give them another chance. The small pickling cukes are just fine and we buy them for salads and table use. We will keep in mind your advise here as we are going to grow pickling cukes and use a fence panel for support. We just love homemade pickles.
I love cucumbers. You are right. The ones I grew were bitter.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll make sure they have plenty of water this year. How do I tell if I’m overwatering them?
