Notes on packet of Cucumber Passandra from Simpson's Seeds :
"Keep damp and feed nitrogen (dried blood etc) once first flowers show"
I've always fed Cucumbers (and Peppers and Aubergines) with high potash tomato fertiliser. What do you do?

Tomorite and/or chicken manure pellets. Usually end up with more little cucumbers than we can eat.
