Fall cucumbers
I have had really good luck this year with my fall cucumbers which is not usually the case. Usually whiteflies and the heat are devastating on fall cucumbers down here but I set them out down at the bottom of the garden which gets a lot of heavy shade after 2 pm and mulched them very heavily and ran them up strings with tomato clips as extra support. Both Sweet Success and Orient Express have both fared well this time. I did have to replace a few of the plants the first week due to the extreme heat killing a few of the baby plants within a couple of days of setting them out.
