Male Cucumber Flowers Stop Developing
Comments (6)Thank you for pointing me to the other thread. It is a similar experience. Like uscjusto, I am confused how any of the female flowers were pollinated if this variety is gynoecious. I have few neighbors and they are not the gardening type. Am I correct in assuming that gynoecious varieties will produce a limited number of male blooms? Another disappointing year for cucumbers. Last year it was powdery mildew. I managed to keep that under control this year, but now I managed to select the wrong variety. Hopefully my third attempt will yield better results....See MoreTomatos stopped growing!
Comments (3)Yup, Bothell here, and it does sound like a weather thing. I'm also seeing growth slow down during the cooler stretches. You could also look up some info on nutrient deficiencies and see if it sounds familiar. They should have a thread with links to various sites about it in the Tomato Pests and Diseases forum. Have you lifted off a dried flower to see if there's actually a teensy, barely visible tomato underneath? If so, they should catch up later. When August hits, look out!

Comments (18)....I find it strange that some describe the scent as 'beery'... not my experience here in my greenhouse where I can smell the sweet scent as soon as I open the door... ...not wanting to complicate matters, but Robert Calkin**, formerly of Yardley's but now fragrance consultant to David Austin Roses, and who often uses complex terms like 'aldehydic' ('Cornelia).. or 'patchouli' ('Le Vesuve')...describes Bourbon's as ''old rose and fruity''... likewise the Noisettes, and he describes both SdlM and Blush Noisette as having a smell ''reminiscent of cut grass and sometimes cucumber''.... ...I don't get that at all... **'The Fragrance of Old Garden Roses'...See MoreFlowering Heuchera Hybrids - any experience?
Comments (15)Thanks, linnea & NHBabs. Lots of great ideas, thanks SO MUCH, everyone, for all your suggestions. My space is small so it may take me several years of experimenting with 1 type of plant per year. Gardengal & linnea, you recommend H. Firefly & I see seeds readily available, tho' the online sellers with the best reputations show red blooms & the sellers w/ less than the best rep show the pinkish-red that I want. Hmm. Swallowtail shows reddish blooms & says "full sun in the North and part shade in the South." I hope to try it & see if I have enough sun in my shade garden. NHBabs & peren.all, I like your rec of H. sanguinea species or the old-fashioned sanguinea but online sellers seem to offer the newer named varieties. I do see seeds of a pink 'Bressingham hybrid,' which sellers claim was created using an old-fashioned one & claim is one of the few hybrids that will grow true from seed. Similar question about light - I will have to try it. The seller that I see with the best rep is Garden Harvest Supply on the link below. NHBabs, I LOVE your idea of finding a perennial that provides contrast with the hostas in color, size & texture, yet echoes one of the hosta leaf colors to keep things from looking too busy. Great idea - to be worked on. Thanks, everyone, appreciate your help! Seed for pink H.
