    Hi All,

    I would appreciate a little bit of advice. I have grown 6 gherkin plants for the first time this year. They are doing marvellous. Only one problem they are starting to look a bit yellow and a tad bit sorry for themselves. I have tried Epsom salts and I also feed them on a regular basis with maxi crop plus. I had a think and looked at the bottom of the pots and lone behold they have roots galore. Poor things are pot bound. Can I repot them even though they are Fruiting?

    Thank you kindly :hapfeet:

    You might be better off puttin the whole pot into a bigger pot and let the roots find their way thru the holes rather than risk disturbing them at this stage.

    Just done similar with one of my tomatoes :)
