I have just potted up 6 cucumber plants and they have all gone very limp! Do you think they will be ok? Is there anything I should do to help them?

Are they watered and in the correct temp?

I think so -they are back inside where they were before and I gave them a good watering- is too much or too little likely to be a problem?

If they wer mine I would probally not give them anymore water till they perk up a bit.Can you put them where they are in the daylight?

They are on my kitchen windowsill, where they've been since I sowed them.

Phew, all butone have recovered this morning. Now as long as my daughters remember to water them while I'm away for the next few days, they should be ok!

I always water my cucumbers from the bottom, saves neck rot :)
