    we've got 2 cucumber plants (which we bought) in a growbag inside one of those mini greenhouses. they dont look happy! one i am sure has died (yellowing of the leaves) and the other looks like its going the same way! they seem neither too wet nor too dry.
    i was wondering if the fact that the greenhouse is in full shade makes a difference? do cucumbers prefer partial/full sunlight?

    :) I can't take you to ceriously with a name like RandyRos lol.
    No greenhouse however small should be in allday shade.
    I suspect they are suffering from the cold.

    Need a minimum of 10C - probably too cold in the grow-house at night :(
