Growing Cucumber

My father is an avid cucumber grower and he and all his friends this year initially had cucumbers but later the plants grew with plenty of leaves but no cucumbers. In Sydney we have had alot of rain probably daily over the last few weeks but it was interesting that he and all his friends had the same issue of not many cues but heaps of growth and leaves.

George sounds like your fathers plants have access to too much nitrogen which usually results in lush green growth but at the cost of flowers and fruit.
