cucumber problems - help please
Graham Gilbert said:
We have exactly the same problem As ZAF in the interior of British
olumbia - blooms, then fruit, then they turn yellow and do not develop.
However a couple of cukes have developed on a couple of the plants - does
this eliminate the pollination problem as a cause?
No, I think that inadequate pollination would still be a prime suspect.
Either most of the blossoms are not being properly pollinated or the
cucumber vines are aborting the fruit because they are under stress
(examples: disease, lack of some particular nutrient, too much shade).
