I am growing Diva cucumbers for the 2nd time this year. All went well last year but this time all the ovaries shrivel up and die and don't turn into cucumbers. Diva is parthenocarphic so I can't figure out why this would be. I'm in MN. We're in a drought but I have been watering regularly and the plant looks healthy. It has lots of flowers and is growing well overall. It's such a highly rated variety that I am flumoxed!

I don't grow parthenocarpic varieties but find cucumbers, squashes and pumpkins frequently abort early fruits. I've considered that if the plant appears to be growing well perhaps it has not reached that mysterious maturational milestone that supports the energy demand of fruit growth. So more time is needed some years.
