Jamie Walton | Nettles & Petals on Instagram: "Common Cucumber growing mistake! 🥒 I love growing my own cucumbers, but they can be a little temperamental to grow from seed. Cucumber seeds germinate fast, usually within 5-10 days and the adult plants do need a lot of water as they grow to produce large fruits that consist mainly of water. However, much like Basil, at the early seedling stage, cucumbers do not like to be overwatered and this can be a common mistake. If you notice your plants leaves are yellowing then there’s a good chance that is why. They prefer lightly moist free draining soil or compost that is bordering on being a little dry when compared to a lot of other seedlings water preferences. I test this by familiarising myself with the wet and dry weight of the potted p How To Plant Cucumbers In A Pot, Planting Cucumbers In Pots, Cucumber In A Pot, How To Grow Cucumbers In A Pot, Cucumber Plants In Pots, Cucumber Plants Growing Tips, Grow Cucumbers In A Pot, How To Plant Cucumbers, Plant Cucumbers

Jamie Walton | Nettles & Petals on Instagram: "Pruning Cucumber Plants! 🥒🌱 Firstly, there are generally two main types of cucumbers grown here in the UK ‘greenhouse’ or indoor cucumbers and outdoor or ‘ridge’ types. I mainly grow greenhouse cucumbers that need plenty of heat, so need to be grown in a greenhouse or poly tunnel. They are large plants that produce long, smooth fruits that need to be pruned to to ensure they are manageable and healthy. They do not need pollinating and the male flowers need to be removed to prevent this happening or the fruits will end up being very bitter. I grow an all female variety called ‘Passandra’ to ensure this doesn’t happen as they are much easier when growing at scale, so there’s no need to remove any flowers.
