That plate looks cool as a cucumber, very refreshing! I'm always amazed at your plants! Very impressive!
I started picking this week and had enough to make a batch of dill pickles from harleysilo's recipe here at Tomatoville. I've made them once before and it's exactly like the Clausen dills at the store. Can't wait until they're ready to eat!

Looks great it also reminded me I left a perfectly good cucumber on the vine before I left.

I dont usually do well with cukes, but DIVA did well for me this year too. This past weeks heat has basically wiped them out, but I wasnt expecting them to last much longer anyway. I will plant more in August for fall garden.

I have a super dumb question, will one cucumber seed result in only a single stem plant?

They can branch at any node.

Cukes
Yes one seed will get you a single stem plant, but cucumbers are like vines. One stem plants will produce a lot of cucumbers. I usually plant 5 seeds to get 5 plants. They grow very fast and produce pretty rapidly. Make sure you have something for them to climb on. My chain link fence works best for me.

Looking great Raybo as usual. Mine are a couple of weeks behind yours. My garden is struggling somewhat this year with the wettest May on record and over 5 inches of rain today.

Mine naturally have about 2 or 3 vines per plant. If my climate were more suitable they would probably branch more. If I lost a growing tip I'm sure one of the other nodes would begin to grow

Looks like a nice setup. What kind of cukes? Or are they some of both? They appear to have small seeds/seed cavities.

These are Sweet Success. They develop "seedless" if not cross pollinated by insects. My favorite cuke!

Your plants are beautiful, Ray. Sweet Success is my favorite, too.
I'm growing mine in Earth boxes, on a sturdy bamboo trellis (8' x 1" poles). My second cucumber is Japanese Long, both very healthy but the Sweet Success is much taller and bearing mature cucumbers now while the Japanese Long cucumbers are just forming. I think Diva is a great variety, too. Thanks for posting your photos; I enjoyed them! Darlene |
