RE: One morning in my garden
I couldn’t figure out what the problem was with my cucumbers in the garden before. They would start to produce fruit, but then the cucumbers would turn yellow and die. The plant actually produces a lot of fruits, yet most of them don’t survive. What’s your secret to getting your cucumbers to grow and bear healthy fruit before?

There are many factors that can influence you having that bad experience:
Cucumbers like direct sun for at least 6 hours; you can also have them in fewer hours but it can influence your cucumbers.
You should not flood the substrate, they like humidity, and a substrate rich in organic matter. Have compost prepared for when they bloom; you add a little every week. If you have worm or livestock manure, they love that.
Be aware of pests, they love to come just when the flowers are at their most beautiful.
I have been able to harvest large, tasty cucumbers in my garden. What I had was time without the seeds germinating.
