i tried growing cucumbers last yr and again this yr but got nabbed by a
virus both
yrs, so frustrating . i checked to see if they were blight resistant
and virus resistant as well so it just adds to the frustration of
things.
anyone else have problems

I don't have virus problems, but my cucumber seedlings kept getting eaten by
earwigs. I finally planted seeds in peat pellets and set the pellets right
up on the ground surrounded by cardboard, and some of them finally grew, but
they are only about a foot high at this point in mid-August! Slow year for
me, definitely.
