Cucumber plants looking a bit squiffy
Hi,
I am having a dabble at growing my own this year and have bought a poly tunnel, a cheap and nasty ebay jobbie. Nothing too adventurous, for now just some tomatoes and cucumbers. A couple of my cucumber plants don't look too good, the leaves have lost their texture and gone smooth and have pale patches. Anyone know what's up with 'em? Cheers, Rick |

Unlike tomatoes, they thrive on humudity so create the latter by wetting paths, but be sparing in this regard on cold, dank days. For more information try growing cucumbers on www.google.com.
