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.
