R.I.P. (?) My Cucumbers

[Mr FootOfDavros]

Very disappointing this. I'd moved these into these larger pots whilst I still had them indoors, cooking away nicely in my daughter's south-ish facing window.

Anyway, they were just getting too big! I had bamboo support in their practically up to the ceiling, so decided I'd move them out with just a couple of 8c overnights on the forecast.

Anyway, they're now looking like this:-

Lots of dead, whitening leaves. The main stem actually broke in the middle plant. No signs of any growth over the past few days, despite some nice warm sunshine days.

I think we actually had a couple of lower (maybe 3/5c) nights as the weather changed once they were out...

Are they completely done for or is there any hope for revival if I leave them for a bit longer?

In my experience, they may very well survive, but they will never produce cucumbers as they would otherwise have done. Better off, starting a new batch...while either keeping or discarding the old ones.

Thanks - I got some more seeds on the go earlier today. They just shot up too quickly - maybe a couple of weeks behind and I would have been looking at three good plants to produce...

Anyway I'll keep them there for now and see what happens. Hard to see from the photo but there's actually a few mini cucumbers in place already which I guess may grow if they recover at all...
