We have had quite a number of fruit on the plant ( delicious by the way!!) but all of a sudden the leaves turned yellow and no more fruit. I have cut of those leaves. But the plant does not seem to be producing anymore.. any ideas please? Should the plant be pulled out due to being with other vegies in the vegie garden. Thanks

The leaves on the underside of my Lebanese cucumber plants are turning yellow and then drying out. I'm fertilizing regularly and watering often. My cucumbers are planted on a slope and this is happening to the higher up plants. My cucumbers have taken a long time to flower, we planted them 2 1/2 months ago and we just picked our first lot. Any help appreciated.

dont let the leaves get wet when you water them try to keep the water at the base of the plant

Plants are flowering heavily,fruits form then when they are about 2 to 3 cms in length they die off,what could be the cause of this? cheersRobbie.

Infertile flowers can cause this - are there bees around?

I note that you suggest cucumbers and tomatoes should note be grown together. I have them side by side in grow bags, will that be ok. Also, is it wise to thin out leaves of the cucumber? Thanks

I've only know of growing cucumbers in a fence or trellis.. hearing of them being grown on the ground sounds very strange to me.. one it takes up more room and two it's more likely to have problems with bugs and such.
