Cucumbers - succession planting

[hendi_alex]

Several cucumber vines are still at various stages of development. No more will be planted for this season, but I would expect all plants to add to the stream of cucumbers before getting killed by frost sometime between late October and Mid November.

Even this scruffy vine has a couple of cukes getting close to harvest.

No need for succession planting here. Cukes will continue to produce until frost. I guess you have a longer season and the vines may give up.
I just harvested my cukes. I plant a row and just let them sprawl. Here is a pic.

Looks wonderful. Yes, out cukes are put in the ground in late April, and by the time mid June rolls around the vines are getting tired and mostly quit producing soon after. It is probably a result of the heat, humidity and disease. Anyway, I compensate by making a fresh planting about every three to four weeks from April through August. Also, my soil is really lousy here, I'm sure many would keep healthy cucumbers growing much longer where the soil is reasonably fertile.

Different climates have different requirements. You just keep trying things until you find what works for you on your lot.

Nice going!
