Tips for growing better cucumbers in the Redding area....

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Apex California Realty

Here are some tips for growing better cucumbers in the heat of the Redding California area.

#1 Make sure your plants have plenty of water.At  least 2 different times during the hot day!

#2.Make sure they dont get too hot...I know its hard here when it is 112 out to make sure they dont get too hot but they will produce some bitter little cucumbers if they get too hot and they don't get enough water...

3.Refer to #1 if all else fails!

4.I like to give my garden a good watering early in the morning....say around 6-7am and then again around 1-2 pm...This ensures that the plants don't get too stressed out from lack of water and start doing funny things.

5. A sure sign that the plants are not getting enough water is wilting leaves and cucumbers that will make you pucker!! I learned this the hard way!!

If possible plant some other vegetation to help shade the cucumber plants so they don't have direct sun ALL day long.They like the sun don't get me wrong but they don't like it when it is 112 out...come to think of it who does??

 

Heres to happy Cu_c's.
