August 13, 2017A.Yellowing leaves or plants can be due to watering issues; too much or too little, pests, disease, nutrient issues or environmental.
A soil test is the only way to determine if you have a nutrient issue or if the soil needs amendment. Your County Extension Office can help with a soil test for just a few dollars.

99109Q.vegetable garden in greenhouse
I have vegetables in 4 boxes in a greenhouse. The plants look very healthy and have big green leaves and lots of flowers on them. They are cucumbers and tomato plants. However, I do not see any fruit on these plants yet. Am I being too anxious and the fruit will show up in a few weeks? I thought they should be having little cucumber starts on them by now. Please let me know. Thanks! Sharon

Franklin ,Ma 02038Q.Cucmbers.
I have some Marketmore Cucumbers growing. One is about 7 inches long and looks like it is ready to be picked it is getting a bit plump around the middle. The blossom end of the cuke is like a little curled tail, like on a pig. I am wondering does this mean that the cuke needs to grow more or should I go ahead and pick it? The others are shorter and fatter around 5 in or so and. getting fat instead of long the are green with some paler green stripes. Should I pick them? I have grown Marketmore other years and they were long and straight. This year they are mostly short and fat. Thank you Ruth Garcia

August 27, 2017A.Fruit and vegetables often grow in different shapes.
This will not effect the taste.
