# It’s my first time growing cucumber (anything really) and although it…

It’s my first time growing cucumber (anything really) and although it is growing very very slowly according to my notes from the seed bag I am suppose to be harvesting by the 29th of may 😂 I don’t have any cucumber and my plant is like 2 inches tall. What am I doing wrong?

Planted my first cucumber plant today too! I’m so excited I should be harvesting in a couple of weeks

Okay… so I’ve grown cucumbers a couple of years now and in my opinion you have way too many in that one pot. I would have no more than two in each pot. If you have a really big pot you can do three.

Make sure you trellis them as soon as it starts to get bigger. These are vines… so they need a lot of room to grow.

If you live anywhere near a body of water watch out for pickle worms!!!!! GOOGLE them. I had about ten vines and every single one was infected and I had to just kill all of them. Once you have them you can’t get rid of them. The first time I grew them, didn’t live near a river and didn’t have this problem. Second time I lived near a river and they appeared… so I would just google them and see if you could be at risk.

I am not sure your area but I had to self pollinate. Google the difference between male and female flowers and do what they say to pollinate.
