Growing Cucumber

View the Cucumber page

27 Sep 09 Steph (Australia - temperate climate)
I've had cucumber seedliings that germinated with quite abstract looking seed leaves, though further growth was slow but normal in appearance. I'm wondering whether cucumbers dislike fertiliser in the soil at germination. I've been told beans dislike it at germination as well. Does anyone know about this or can offer any advice?
