Everyone seems to be having Cucumber Troubles this season! Mine are blooming and just starting to set fruit. I am growing ‘Sweeter Yet and ‘Summer Dance.’ Both have all-female blooms and self-pollinate.
If you are having little fruit, pollination is the problem, and you may want to switch to one of the varieties I listed above, or another that is ‘Parthenocarpic.’ These plants produce all female flowers and self-pollinate. Sisters are doin’ it for themselves, LOL!
Here’s the basics on growing cucumbers from The Farmer’s Almanac:

Here’s a list of Parthenocarpic Cucumber varieties. A few people here will also attest to loving ‘Diva’ cucumber. I’ve grown that one before, too.

No, our cucumber plants are always weak overall. I’ve varied fertilizer, water, soil immediately around the plants. Nothing seems to make much difference. Maybe I’ll try growing a couple in pots?
