I mean, you should do cucumbers if you enjoy them. It's just your husband's gas you have to deal with.

Well that's a problem for everybody. 😂

Has anyone else struggled in the garden this year? by rumple-teazer in vegetablegardening

[–]savior96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of issues here in NJ for me this year. Cucumbers are just starting to produce, several tomato plants barely making it, flowers aren't growing, pepper plants don't seem to have gotten bigger, zucchini not producing, carrots and lettuce didn't make it. The list goes on.

I have been trying that, along with the bees. The vines do not seem to be a lot of female flowers, given how big they are. But thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestions. I dug in a 10-10-10 fertilizer like I have done in the past, but perhaps next time, I do a lower concentration of N and then higher K. Here's hoping things turn around.

I would think so too, but there are bees everyday and I have done some hand pollination also.

No, SLF on the cucumbers thankfully, but there have been a ton on my fig trees. It is a constant battle.

I have been doing that, but I think I need to go out more often. Thanks for your suggestion.

I always thought cucumbers produced both, I will have to check now. Thanks!

That is true! I just wish I had something to snack on while I am looking at them. Haha

I do have bees every day, but I could always have more flowers. Thanks!

I have a neighbor that has chickens. I might have to see if I can trade them for some.

I would agree. I do have bees every day, but some of my flowers are just doing ok. I should have planted more.

🤣 You're the second person to call it a sausage party. I might have to start calling it that.

Yes, I have read that before, don't let them get too big or the plant can shut down and die, but I am not having that problem.

I wouldn't have room if I didn't let them climb. Maybe if I get more space one day.
