FINALLY, after hauling in 16 very large wheelbarrow loads, I put in 12 baby cucumber plants. This is a miniscule amount compared to a few years back--when the 55 x 65 horse training area was a garden. Back then, I must have planted nearly one hundred, and most came up. This year the "wedding" messed up my plans, so I was forced to buy cucumbers. I did get them on clearance, where you often lose a few because they're so pot-bound.
My bed is 3 1/2 x 12 ft. made from 2 x 10's on the East and West, and
12 foot 2 x 8's, so it's deeper than any of the other beds.
SOON, after I get my campaigned-for personal point-and-click camera, I'll be able to edit my posts and show you pictures. Promise!
These were my 2010 cucumbers. AWFUL! Then, it got worse--they were attacked and got bacterial wilt.
