I know I picked a green variety of seeds. My husband swears that if I pick them they'll turn green, but I've always thought they had to turn green on the vine. What should I do???

If they started out as yellow and stayed yellow, then you've got the yellow variety. The seed companies do screw up on occassion - i bought honeydew seeds one year and wound up with canary melons! lol!

When yellow they are overripe. The fruit starts out green and stays green until the seeds begin to mature and then the fruit turns yellow or even white.
If they started out yellow.......are you sure you didn't get lemon cucumbers instead?

My leaves are turning a sprint yellow on mine, however the vegetation are going stable. you in all probability have short and stubby cucumbers by using fact you have 'pickling' cucumbers. they do no longer improve massive. with reference to the size of a huge dill pickle which you purchase interior the keep. desire this helps.

That happened to me and someone told me to put all my used and leftover produce like bannana peels watermelon rinds and also used coffee grinds in the garden they would help the soil. I tried it last winter and planted this spring and i have big delicious green cucumbers.

Try adding magnesium to the soil. Sprinkle some epsom salt on the ground and water it in.

are they getting enough sun sometimes you have to pick the little ones off that are draining the sap from the larger ones i don't think they turn once they're picked like tomatos

Don't forget sunlight! They need ample sunlight and plenty of watering (twice a day).
