Title: Leggy cucumbers
Post by: bluecar on May 02, 2012, 13:28:51

Hello all.

I started come cucumber in a heated propagator. Yesterday at 10.00 am there was nothing showing. Returned today at 1.00 pm and they are leggy and about 3" high. Is there anything I can do or will they survive as is?

Regards

Thanks dl933.

I was a bit worried that if I did this they might rot at the necks which I believe cucumbers are prone to.
