Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you were to grow cukes through December, wouldn't you need to add a light source as well as heat?

The fine print on the chinese greenhouse powerpoint puts warm weather production in MARCH and not through the winter when both temps and light are low.

Someone help me here: has Eliot Coleman quit growing cool season crops in for harvest in December/January due to the slow growth the comesfrom short days/low sun? It seem to me I read that somewhere.

As far as cukes, david has passed on everything that I have to say.

but if david wants to continue on that thread, here's a question:

David - you fertilize your cukes heavily and regularly. What fertilizer do you use and how do you get it to the plants?

Thanks!!
