How do I rescue these cucumbers?


Hi folks,I've moved my cucumber plants into the greenhouse when they outgrew their pots, and they've been trying to commit suicide ever since. They've started to droop and look like they're dying. I'm not sure what to do to help them. I've tried adding some fertilizer (earthworm poo), some long-term fertilizer (horn shavings), adding more water, nothing seems to help them. The weather hasn't been great, but I do have heating in the greenouse which turns on in case it drops below 1 degree. As far as I know the night temps haven't fallen below 3. The plants are in a raised bed, inside the greenhouse, the top soil layer is quite dry, but it's quite moist when you dig underneath. I don't think they're taking up much water. The other plants are happy in the same conditions, tomatoes are doing well, salads are doing well, but cucumbers look awful. Should I just give up and replace them with something else, or is there a way to rescue them? I can dig them out and put them back in pots if that will help.Thanks!

Our garden is absolutely full of weeds and clover and they're all around the plants. How do we fix this? A lot of the plants are too close together to use a machine for it. We don't want to lose our garden

For context it has been storming nearly every single day here and the clover and weeds are thriving and we haven't been able to get to them. My dad just died so it's just me (21F) and my grandma. I have very severe asthma and the smoke in the air makes it difficult for me to work outside and my grandma is nearly 70. What do we do?

Hey all, I made a post a few days ago but due to language issues, I’m doing a new, proper one now.I need some help planning the restoration of old family property. Its a wild meadow now, it was once used for hay production, then for some 20 years horses lived there and then it was just unused and grew wild over the last 10 years.Now I want to restore a part of it as a garden. I have like 1000 ideas, but no real plan where to start. Ill try to give you as much information as I can, plus some photos of the property and what I’ve already done last year.The issues are, there is no running fresh water, no electricity, it is on the other side of the town (15min car, 40min Bike ride) and I have very limited money, so I’m trying to to everything with as little money possible.https://ift.tt/mEyJAMu at a zone comparable to 6a. The entire area is around 50x250m, sitting at the north side of an old forest, down at the river. The ground is at a slope for a bit over half the distance, so most of th

Can you help me out?

Hello everyone,I hope this post is allowed, otherwise feel free to delete it! I am a Greek student in Sweden studying marketing and I am doing research related to community gardens, more specifically how community gardens act as spaces for citizens to express resistance to urbanization and food culture. As part of the research project I need to interview people who are active members in the community gardens and could give me more information related to community gardens, the overall community and in general your experiences when it comes to community gardens, why you do it, etc. Please send me a message or leave a comment if you are interested in helping me by sharing your experience with me! Thank you in advance!
