This is the one of the 1727 Jacobus plants.
I have just realised that I didn’t actually explain why we put the venting temperature up.
So, after many hours of research we dug up from experiments growing cucumbers ideal conditions for cell expansion and cell division.
We obviously had to take this information with a pinch of salt but it was really interesting.
The experiments found that for the first 10 days after pollination the cucumbers went through cell division and cell expansion. Then for a further 18 days they went through cell expansion only.
So, what to do?
Well our thoughts are to keep the plants in a “happy place” and we felt that the plants needed the temperatures in my previous posts.
It’s all a bit touchy feely but we know it’s working.
Please, if there’s something in my diary that’s not explained just ask, Stuart and I prefer to have no secrets as pumpkin growing is hard enough as it is.
