Marlin,
Thanks for the reply. I used the weave method for the first time on tomatoes
this year (approx 1000'). It is a lot of work, but I really liked the
results. So, I guess I will try it on cucs.
Mike here is my zip code. We may set a record high tomorrow in the 70's.

Why can't one use stakes and twine (Florida Weave) for cucs, like tomatoes
I think one could. My neighbor did something like that last year with his
but he told me that it was a lot of work and it took a lot of twine. I
think I'm going to try it on a short row this coming year. I predict that
it will go a lot like trying to stake and weave oxheart tomatoes (notorious
for weak, wimpy stems). Again the issue is the cost of stakes, twine, and
time.
