I planted some cucumber's in Mid May and they are not growing. What can I do? They are watered twice a day for 9 minutes and are feritized every two weeks with Mirical Grow plant food.

Expert Response
Be sure to check soil moisture before watering. Soil moisture has been very high. Many of my veggie aren’t growing either. Too much water can set plants back and recovery takes a couple of weeks. It has also been too cool until this week to expect much growth. Of course, hot weather (85F and above) inhibits flowering. Hopefully we will have a long fall and a harvest. For best results fertilize according to the instructions on the label. Too much fertilizer promotes leaf grow instead of cucumbers.
Good luck and I hope we get perfect weather.
