    cucumber

    2-3 weeks but the grade goes down the longer we pick.Never tried in greenhouse but I'm sure they would last longer.

    Curious to know how the corn looks elsewhere.Everything here looks great but historically- only 10 days away from dry weather and 100 degree days.

    LIQUID FERTILIZERS

    Bought a 3 loads of 25% last week for $189 per ton.Thats around $1 per gallon.As far as the 2-4D goes, just make sure you get the one that mixes with liqiud nitrogen and you'll be fine.Very common practice around here.
