Cucumbers' Long Harvest Season.

Tall cucumber plants are great when they grow nicely, but we should take nothing for granted. They can die on you very easily and I'm happy if 2/3 of them survive through the summer.

This is my advice for keeping them productive right through the summer, and until early October, in this climate. Over the years, I've had many die on me unexpectedly for different reasons, and I share how to reduce that.

I'm growing organically with no feeds of fertiliser, and this slightly reduces output. On the other hand it increases the health of plants, and gives cucumbers of great flavour.
