Do cucumbers planted in home garden need to be watered once a day or twice a day ?

Question

Do cucumbers planted in home garden need to be watered once a day or twince a day ? If there are two or more new small cucumbers on one branch, will they all become fruits that can be reaped ?

Answer 1

Depends on the weather. If its hot water twice a day. If you have small cukes on the vine, and want to keep them small, let them all stay, if you want bigger ones, pick off all but one on each vine.
If you dont want to water twice a day, water every other or third day by trickle watering for an hour or so. That way the plant develops deep roots and doesnt need watering as often. It helps to water the hole when you plant for that reason.

Answer 2

I live in Southeast Missouri and our cucumbers thrive like crazy every year from watering once a day in the morning or very early afternoon. If the ground stays too wet the fruit will rot before it grows big enough to pick.

Answer 3

Once a day is plenty either early morning or later at night so the sun doesnt fry them. Dont over water them. Yes the will grow with more than one on a vine. I put mine against my against a trelace (stand) they will climb to for future reference and that makes them more stable and larger. but dont water when its sunny it will damage the plants & they could get burnt by the sun.
