Sungron’s Question

I have a couple of kinds of cucumbers, both of which I water thoroughly and regularly. Many of them develop curled with a bulging end instead of straight. Am I overwatering?

Cucumbers need one inch of water a week - but the crucial time they need moisture is when they are in flower and again when you see the fruit. I suspect the plants dried out a bit at flowering time and this is showing up as the curled end. They should still taste fine so enjoy the creative shape. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
