I don’t know the variety of my cucumbers but they have a bitter taste that doesn’t have anything to do with their size. They are growing in a raised bed and our temperatures have been in the 90′s for several weeks now. Any ideas why?

@Sarah

I think you’re going to have to replant, unfortunately.

@Carroll

If they are already a few inches long, they should be fine for harvesting. Try one!

I planted Pole Beans, they came up perfect but then some rabbits ate the tops off of them! I am a first time gardener so I am not sure – will they grow back (they ate down to the stems) or should I plant new ones? I have since put up a fence!

Thanks!

My son is growing a veggie container garden[his first time].
He has planted what is called in the South “banana peppers” [yellow & shaped like them] in the same container w/bell peppers & both are doing very well.

My “?” is:We don’t have a clue about when the “banana peppers” are ripe & ready to be picked?? We started w/starter plants that were healthy & of good size..and already have quite a few peppers of good size! HELP!

I have a Cucumber plant well at least thats what I thought it was. What the leaves are round and not heart like shaped. Very confused, they still vine but the leaves arent as big and so I am so unsure. If you need a picture I have one, I hope someone can help me, this depends on my food source.

Thanks

I’m not so sure about rubber mulch and vegetable gardening. If it were me, I don’t know if I would worry so much that I’d pick it all back up. But I probably wouldn’t use it if I hadn’t put it down already.

I just planted my tomato plants and covered them with rubber mulch. I want to make sure that the rubber mulch is not going to hinder or hurt my tomatos. The mulch bag claims that it is great for keeping out weeds and holding moisture. Any comments?
