Cucumber depth

Hi All

Some of my Cucumbers are looking a bit leggy and are ready for potting in the final place (a fish box) would it be ok to plant them deeper to support this leggy growth??

Thanks

Dave

 

Cucumber is about the only thing that I do NOT plant deep - its very susceptible to basal stem rot, and I think it best to plant it so that the original soil surface is the highest point - i.e. the new soil surface falls-away from the stem.
