PaulF said:I think cucumbers will be the next project. I do not seem to have much success growing cukes. I like bush style because of space considerations and allow them to climb a fence panel. They either do not get fully formed or filled out, get powdery mildew or some kind of blight or wilt. It is either the variety I choose or my growing practices. Mostly I just plant the seeds in the ground and take what grows. This will be a good research topic for the long cold winter that is on the way.

I know late in the season Cucumber plants do tend to come down with all sorts of problems. Spotted leaves, mildew and who knows what else. But before that happens you should be able to get a really nice harvest of many cucumbers.
