Crazy cucumbers
(lemmy.world)
Very new to gardening. Very happy my garden hasn't died with all the crazy rain we're getting here!
Any friendly advice for these crazy cucumbers? They keep expanding! (2 squash on the right, 4 cucumbers to the left of them, then lettuce). Definitely going to give everything more room next year.
Damn, Im jealous! My cucumber plant has had a hard summer. Way too much rain my way too.
Many people stake their cucumber plants so they grow upwards instead of outwards. This helps prevent them from taking up as much space and keeps the cucumbers from rotting on the ground.
Maybe I can stake them now... They really seem to just keep spreading!
Definitely not too late. You can even just tie the vines onto a stake with some twine. Lots of ways people do it.
