When to harvest cucumbers for seeds
I want to save seeds from Poona Kheera cucumber plants I have been growing.
Some seed saving sites says to allow the cucumbers to overripen for up to 5 weeks. Can I pick a normal ripe cucumbers and allow the to ripen off of the vine, because if I overripen them on the vine won't that cause my plant to produce less? thanks, Dean |
