My wife’s plants are suffering as well. The cucumbers are barely 6 inches high, by now they’d normally be entangled in the lattice.

It’s been raining since about April of last year. Constantly. Every few days, it’s an inch or more and every day there are spitting showers.

We are in Northern NJ, about 3 hours from the Finger lakes and have roughly the same weather pattern. It’s maddening.

2018 was the wettest year on record for NJ since they started keeping records in 1895. The state averaged 64 inches of rain. My part of the state was a few inches more than that.

STOP @#$%ING RAINING!!!!

I held back on transplanting my cucumber plants. In fact, I'm just sprouting two varieties that have female to male flowers ratio of 4 to 1.

Last year I had one group....I swear it had 10 male flowers to 1 female flower. Produced practically nothing.

They like warmth.
