Pointy Cucumbers

When I have asked in previous years, the most likely answer was incomplete pollination. Inconsistent watering was another suggestion.

My cucumbers just started blooming, but I transplanted some of my extra zinnias to the vegetable garden this weekend. That should help increase the pollinator traffic.

Not enough water or sunshine generally causes that. Then there's fast growth, to much water and sunshine can cause short fat, pointy cukes. Gardening is, at best, a roll of the dice when it comes to weather. Pointy cukes are still edible, they just ain't purty.
