Cucumber Flowers

After a week or so, I’ve been seeing cucumber flowers. I can’t wait to see what it looks like. That’s why it’s important that you label your seedlings to know what variety it is. In this case, I don’t know because a friend of mine just gave me the seeds.
Anyways, pollination is important, so try not to spray anything that will kill our natural pollinators like bees, butterflies, etc.
Also, now is the time to add a fertilizer with a higher number in the middle like 10-15-10 to ensure a good harvest. The middle number helps in the development of the fruits.
Just keep the plants consistently watered too especially when the weather is too hot.
