Does anyone have any tips for growing cucumbers in Harvest Hills? Ours have never done very well. The plant is still pretty small and doesn't seem to be thriving.

Bread in 60 minutes!
Seriously... the best! 10 minutes prep, 25 minutes to rise, 25 minutes to cook... DONE! Pizza in 30 minutes... cinnamon rolls in 45 minutes. I feel so domesticated!
5 c. bread flour
1/4 c. white sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp rounded new PREMIUM SAF-Instant yeast
2 tsp EASY SQUEEZY SOY LECITHIN (don't measure, just easy squeezy 2 quarter size squirts)
2 c. hot/warm water
*add 1 3/4 c. and then add 1/4 slowly if necessary*
1. mix dry ingredients
2. make 2 dimples in dry ingredients. Fill with lecithin. Add water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. (should be sticky and pull itself off bowl)
3. Mix/knead in mixer (with hook attachment) on medium setting for 5 minutes. (or 10 minutes by hand) Do NOT use more flour after kneading... none on the counter.)
4. Spray counter and hands with cooking spray
At this point you can make bread... and everything from pizza to dessert braids. Just visit THIS website for recipes, ingredients and further instructions.
You can purchase the yeast and lecithin together for only $15. (It makes 44 loaves of bread!) She also left some at my house if you want to stop by and get one from me.

Do you only have one plant? If so that may be the problem. You need to have at least two, they germinate each other in order to grow.
Our cucumbers are struggling again this year. Last year they turned out to be an orangie green color - no one even wanted to try to eat them.
We've put a water wall back on ours to see if blocking the nice "breeze" will help.
Any other pointers? Anyone?
I do only have 1 plant. We've never done more than one. I'll have to try that next year, thanks.
Right now the plant is so tiny, I don't think it notices the wind!!! But let me know if the water wall helps it Melanie! I'll have to experiment a little next year.
What varieties of cucumber do you plant?
