Some people easily manage to enjoy cucumbers until the very cold weather, while others sit “empty” from the end of August.

It's not a matter of luck or special types of vegetables.

Common mistakes lead to such differences.

What do they consist of?

Nutrients

During fruiting, any crop spends a huge amount of resources. Once the reserves are depleted, you can forget about the harvest.

Therefore, do not forget to feed cucumbers throughout the season.

Moisture

Some gardeners are sure that cucumbers need a huge amount of moisture to bear fruit. This is a misconception.

If you "flood" vegetables with water, nothing good will come of this venture.

The cucumbers will start to get sick and stop producing crops.

Other reasons

Even during the fruiting process, one should not forget about preventive measures that can protect cucumbers from the most common pests and diseases.

If you don't do this, you won't be able to expect long-term fruiting. So try to avoid these mistakes when caring for cucumbers.
