I grew lemon cukes one year (several years ago) and I remember that the vines did seem to be longer than usual cuke vines. I believe they also had a longer DTM. Do the vines have flowers on them?

Yep. Its loaded with flowers. Just the oddest thing. Can't figure it out.

Another question, is there both male and female flowers?

Rodney

Not seeing any female flowers. Two plants full of male flowers. How the hell did that happen? I gave a buddy of mine some plants and his is doing just fine. Strangest thing.

It's normal for a plant to bloom male blossoms before it blooms females. You should have female flowers fairly soon. Probably by the end of the week.

I sure hope so. Thanks for the information.

I have an F1 Armenian Slicer that did this all season, it is literally twice as tall as the rest which are 6 feet or more. I have had to run it to the fence and along the top and it is still going completely crazy. I was ready to pull it out any day now when I noticed in the last week it filled with cucumbers! A LOT of cucumbers at that, other plants produce 1 or 2 at a time for me, this one I am counting 10 or more and they are growing like wildfire.

Stick with it, it should produce well before season's end.

Too much nitrogen? Just a guess.

My lemons are producing lots of cucumbers on short vines. Maybe 3' long.

I'm picking 5 to 10 every day from 5 vines. That is about the only thing I'm getting out of my garden.

We have been having a monsoon here this summer and I figure that it is washing out most of the nitrogen. It may also be lack of sun for me. It has peeped out every once in a while for a few minutes at a time over the last two weeks.

I think they are in survival mode!

My merit corn is short and it's ready, but it is kind of bland tasting and not sweet at all. My tomatoes, beans, peppers, and everything else are short.
