#7 Harvest Regularly
Regular harvesting is crucial for cucumber plants to continue producing fruit. When plants are overloaded with a harvest, they focus their energy on making the existing fruit larger instead of producing new blooms. To maintain the plant’s energy in producing new blooms, it is essential to harvest the cucumbers regularly.
It is important to check the plants daily, as cucumbers left on the vine for too long can become woody, full of seeds, and bitter. They can grow from 2 inches to 12 inches in just a day or two, so it’s necessary to monitor them frequently.
Additionally, applying a light dose of compost tea or organic fertilizer every two weeks can aid in keeping the plants producing. Once the plants begin to fruit, fertilizing can stop. With a bit of slow and steady fertilizing and regular harvesting, the cucumber plants can continue to produce delicious cucumbers for a long time.
In conclusion, growing a huge crop of cucumbers is easy with the right tools and knowledge. By following these ten tips, you can produce a healthy harvest of delicious cucumbers in your backyard. So get out there, start planting, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
