• Planting Cucumber

  I started planting cucumber last November from seeds. The plant grew very well and produces lots of flowers. However most of the flowers are male flowers. Every leaves it produce, it has 2-3 male flowers. Two weeks ago, I was quite excited to see 1 female flower from the lot. The sad part was I had to go for a 1 week vacation.

  After I came back, I could not find the female flower anymore. It is a mystery to me how it vanished. I suspect that the bug must have eaten it. Now I have to wait for another one to come by so that I can have a big fat cucumber!

  If you are traveling and no one is at home to water your plants. You can do this.

  
  
  

  Take a piece of unwanted cotton cloth and cut it into strips. Take a container with cover. The cover is to prevent any mosquito laying eggs into the water. Fill the container with water. Dip one end of the strip into the water and the other end, into the soil. It will absorb the water into the soil. Hope this tip helps your plants to get water even when you are not around.
