What can I do to make sure my cucumbers will be healthy and produce a lot of fruit?
In general, cukes do well with continuous moisture and a high nitro fertilizer. Once the plants start growing, they need a constant supply of moisture. When they are about four inches high, fertilizing with blood meal, cottonseed meal or watering with a solution of fish emulsion will benefit your cukes. Continue to fertilize until flowers form.
