Diagnosis & advice please
I can do this.....Hurrah:woohoo:
Like all cucurbits they need a soil rich in organic matter...best to prepare a small 1ftx1ftx1ft hole with lots of compost or manure; leave the top of this little 'pot' slightly raised. If you live in hot arid areas then regular water is essential....better to water the ground than splash on the leaves...if they receive water after a drought they may split. Keep the fruit off wet soil and away from slugs/snails etc. (on tiles or straw is good)
Pick only firm cucumbers of the right size, cutting cleanly from the plant. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.
Boil 1tsp dill seeds in 1pint vinegar for 5 minutes, cover and allow to cool completely.
Place cucumbers in a bowl and cover liberally with salt...seriously, lots of salt: toss them around and leave in the fridge for 24 hrs.
Rinse the cucumbers with cold water, pat dry, arrange in large jar and cover with vinegar/dill seeds prepared earlier.
Switch your MJ plants to 12/12 cycle...when the buds are ready for harvest, your pickles will be ready to eat
They're great in potato salad (I can grow those too)
