Cucumbers need to grow up a support to let maximum light ripen the fruits
You will need:
- canes - 210cm (7’)
- soft string
Place 3 canes in a tripod shape approximately 30 – 40 cm (12 – 16”) across at the base and tie the tops together. As the cucumber grows wind it gently around the canes and tie in with soft string.
or
Stretch a wire from one side of the greenhouse to the other, making sure it is taut. Push in a cane beside the cucumber and tie the top to the wire. Tie in the cucumbers as they grow.
