Saving my cuc - Bren - 20-05-2020
One of my Beth Alpha cucs gave up on 3 May it was laying horizontal across the pot
the bottom leaves all floppy. Anyway I’d read previously about cutting of the top couple of inches and popping it in water to root. This is how it looks like today it’s time to pot it on.

Nice one Bren
. I didn't know you could do that with cukes. 
Handy if they get too leggy as well I would imagine?

One of my Beth Alpha is a bit droopy too but There's not enough stem to cut off - yet.
Thanks for the reminder, Bren.
Wonder if it works with other cucurbits too ...........should do?

Wish I’d known that a couple of weeks ago I lost both my cucumbers ( the variety I can’t pronounce or spell
).They both did the droopy thing. So I binned them.

My 2 cucumbers that got the dart of frost recently appear to have recovered. I will get some photos tomorrow and post.
