Cucumbers/Tomatoes


Question
My cucumbers are curling.  What is this due to?  Lack of water?

Also, I've got a ton of green tomatoes on my plant, but non are ripening.  If I pick them off, will I speed up the reddening (assuming they are full size) and increase yield?

Thanks and thanks for your tips about removing the excess lime.  All plants appear to be thriving.

Answer
Noel:

Glad that you got rid of the excess lime.

Look at the back side of the cucumber leaves and check to make sure there are no mites. If they are clean use more water and a mild fertilizer.

Regarding your tomatoes do not remove them. Let nature take it's course and they will ripen in due time. Keep them watered and fertilized good.

Best wishes.

Don
