>>341434Do you know what is the exact variety or what is the seed manufacturer and type so I can look it up for you and help you out.. Also, we need your horticultural zone
http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/ I'm in Southern California where is it almost always hot, warm, or mild so as long as I mulch and protect the plants they can grow through the winter and for god knows how long. Trust me, I did ALOT of work digging up the soil (about 2-3 ft deep), took roots out, added fertilizer, tested the pH and NPK and I got a really nice workout doing it too. As a tip, you can sell the 'extra' harvest on CL or another place too. Check out your local places for 'seasonal sales' where you can buy extra pots for dirt cheap. If I knew more about cucumbers, I'd be able to help but all I know is from my zucchini/squash and that they are in the same family so I'm guessing you would benefit tremendously from having more than one plant when they begin to flower
>>341439I live in Southern California. Every morning at 6 or 7AM I wake up and water all my plants as well as take pictures of them each day so I can see the progress, note pest damage, watch out for diseases, see how long it takes to grow, etc. I took that picture right after I had just watered the plant. It looks bad there but 2 or 3 hours from that moment, the soil quickly dries and I water it 2-3 times a day when its hot (we have 90F+ temperatures so I water once in the evening, once at night, and if need be, around the afternoon I'll water it. I use a ~2Gal watering can and distribute it evenly to this bed. It was 'supposed' to be a 'three sisters' variant with corn, zucchini, and pinto beans but I'm fighting a horrific caterpillar infestation and also, I'm moving out of my folks place because I need work/money so I'm scrambling to figure out how to water all my plants when I'm gone. I'm currently working on a drip irrigation system but can someone recommend me a great auto-watering timer box with 2 outlets?
