| I'm not sure what your concern is rattle. They look okay to me. They are able to hang loose on their own. You will either want it to grow out over the bucket, or put some kind of support up for it, since it's probably a trailing cuc. |

| this is the full plant i was just a little worried as i had some small cucs that went yellow and i cut them off and stopped watering as much dont know if that was correct thing to do ?? |

| Since they yellowed while still small then it's likely the plant aborted them for lack of pollination or simply because it couldn't sustain them. Depending on the variety you planted (I realize you said you didn't know), the cukes in the photos could be ready for harvest. When they stop growing in length and start growing in girth, they are ready to be harvested. Overall your plant looks fairly healthy to me. It will get larger though so plan accordingly. Rodney |
