Harvest cucumbers

-

Keep picking greenhouse cucumbers as they’ll keep going for much longer than those out in the veg patch. Snip off old foliage that is beginning to fade to stop it rotting, and tie the shoots bearing flowers or new cucumbers onto the supports. Cut back any new shoots that are unlikely to grow new fruit and give the plant a foliar feed to keep it going for a bit longer.
