Don't give up yet Paula!!  Things may just be a little behind way up there.  We are in Maryland and have the same strange behavior this year.  The things I thought would do well, aren't and the stuff I didn't expect to grow at all are doing great. Go figure!!  Weather is weird and some things don't like the massive changes.  We finally had a weekend of no humidity and really great temps in the 70's.  It's one extreme to the other.  Hot and dry to cool and wet. 
Hope things are looking up!!!
Cathy

I have tried three times to get lemon cukes to grow from transplants and again they are "biting the big one"!!!  I thought that these would be ok.  I didn't over water and I shaded them so they wouldn't wilt in the hot sun after I transplanted them and now half of them are all wilted keeling over.  We did have a few cool, moist days last week (not too cool) My stuped peas that just wouldn't come up during the spring seemed to like it, maybe it was too wet for cukes?  In fact my whole garden seems to be slow and stunted.  I see others out there having all these harvests already and all my stuff is just staring at me!  This is my first attempt at Sq. Ft. Gardening and I really took pains this year.  I was better off when I just threw stuff in the ground!  I love Sq. Ft. Gardening, maybe I just worried about everything too much! But these cukes are the last straw.  I'm in Montana so maybe all of you that are harvesting are in Florida or somewhere else south??  Help! Any suggestions?  I did find really cool wire for cages, so if anyone's interested I will e-mail that soon.
 
Thanks, Paula in Montana
