    SOIL Outdoor veggie garden

    Veggie gardeners, my sister sent these images of her pickling cucumbers and she doesn’t understand what is going on. This is the second year in a row this has happened. She put chicken poop on top of the ground and then tilled. When she put the plants in the ground she added a handful of fruit and veg potting soil. Keep in mind that the year before she did not use chicken poop.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on?

    Hi LissaLou either she mixed up seeds when planting or the breeder miss packaged. Or possibly they are way over ripe? IDK

    I'm not certain but it looks just like a Lemon Cuke. I grew them many years ago but they have a slightly bitter tang to them.
