Buy the way I use a very small paint brush on Cucumber flowers and on my Tomato flowers to pollinate the flowers, seems to help stop the cucumber from going yellow and drying out, Tom you seem to get a full truss. Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs thought it might help. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,051 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Picked some onions today got them on the old rack to dry trying to grow a pumpkin for the daughter. I plant too late as a rule but got it right this year I hope. Leeks perking up at last. I stuffed up and sowed late this year but they will get there every thing else is in order but the pigeons are hammering any thing not netted. Lost load of swedes and kale lashed it down but the spuds were happy for it 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
