bush cucumbers

[dwnloom]

My bush cucumber plant has just a few cucumbers on it. Will it keep producing or is this it? I have never grown them before.

Thanks!

Make sure to pick them often to encourage it to make more. If you just leave them on there to get huge, it will stop producing.

Here is a "little blurb" of info that might help........

Bush cucumbers should be planted in a warm sunny area of your garden. The more compost or other organic material you can work into the soil the better. Also add a general purpose or a time-release fertilizer and water the soil thoroughly prior to planting. When the young vines are 6 inches long, feed them with a liquid fertilizer.

You should water cucumbers on a weekly basis and more often during periods of high heat. Avoid overhead watering as this promotes mildew. If grown in containers, bush cucumbers require far more frequent watering and a time-release fertilizer.

pick them and it'll encourage the plant to keep going. It will as long as its light, water, and soil needs are met (Meaning the correct fertilizer etc)
