Harvesting Long English

A perfect long English for harvest.
Harvesting long English is not much different from harvesting minis.  The only difference is that we allow the cucumbers to grow for longer period, so we harvest every other day instead of everyday.  We need to make sure that crooked and funny looking ones must also be cut off because they will turn out as garbage for sure.

As with minis, the flowers on long English must also be torn off because the flower will rot and so will the cucumber.  If the flower on long English is torn off when still on vine, the cucumber will no longer grow.  So that cucumber must also be cut off and thrown away.

Example of a bad cucumber that must be cut off.
