As far as I can tell, the cucumbers are not cooperating. Each one has swelled up to no greater than half an inch, yellowed, and died. I may have been overly ambitious with my very humble planter, and perhaps under confident. I planted one extra seed in each hole, just in case. Stinky chicken poop soil for the win! They all germinated. Then the cucumber roots greedily took over most of the planter. The vines are climbing and stretching still, but not a single fruit has reached maturity. We’re mid-summer and I am watching with bated breath.
