    Hi @jane0o0 the soil does look damp...if it was me when the days warm it would be put outside in the sun to help the soil dry out a bit plus all plants need a certain amount of sun besides shade.

      Cucumbers do have a habit of keeling over and dying at this time of year - it's not easy to understand why, could be too wet or dry or too cold. I always grow an extra plant or two as insurance to fill in the gaps.

        I've sowed some more in my heated propagator but it's prob to late now. :-( When I sowed this one I sowed another 6 but gave them all away on Freecycle bar one for myself along with other plants I'd grown from seed. Wish I'd kept extra back now as you've mentioned JWK

          They will catch up Jane, albeit a little late. I sowed my second batch 12 days ago and they grow very fast at this time of the year.

          Mine germinated indoors without any extra heat in 4 days.
