Harvesting cucumbers
I am curious as to when the proper time to harvest cucumbers is. Does the
skin need to be a certain consistency such as either rough or smooth? Is
there a certain smell that should radiate from the cucumbers before they are
ready to pick? Might a person tell by snapping the skin to see if they are
ready?
I did notice one of the leaves of the numerous vines started to slightly
discolor and I am wondering what to do now! Should I try to (hand pollinate)
or take the leave to a reputable nursery or extension agent? Please help!
