This is actually quite normal. Cucumbers don’t last for very long. You have to keep harvesting, and you should succession plant so that you have new plants replacing the old ones and cucumbers for the whole season.

I did not know that… Thank you!

When succession planting, are the new seeds sown in the same spot as the old plants? Or should new holes be created?

#### Claudette replied on 2024-08-10

New holes, but they can be nearby.

But now you can plant something else in their place. Not sure where you are, but you might have time for some climbing beans and/or snap peas.
