What is the growing tip of a cucumber ? Some resources say once 7 leaves have formed, nip off the growing tip. What is the growing tip ?
Our cucumbers are growing well, each plant has some large leaves and at least half a dozen cucumbers which are about 30mm long at present. The plants are about 90cm tall at the moment,. Is it wise to nip off the growing tip at this point ?
My cucumber plants are about 6 inches in height.Please tell me that the ones you've just torn down were planted a few years ago...
I'd think so. Either that of a bit of cucumber-tickling wivva feather
