Good Afternoon to my Blog!

All going well BUT I'm having a cucumber crises! they are just not growing and I really don't know why??

There all warm and tucked up with there blankets and they still don't want to grow........ ?

I'll have to wait and see what happens next.

My super type prolific tasty, or so it says on the packet took a while to take off but now I have cucumbers coming out of my ears! If the plant looks healthy it should be ok. Are you fertilising while fruit is being produced like you should?
