will cucumber do well in 105 degrees heat? my plants are struggling. It will be 108 on Friday without the heat index.

Just keep the cucumbers alive. Shade, mulch and water. It was 108*F here so I share your concern. No fruit will set in this kind of heat, but if they are kept alive (and the red spider mites don't kill them), they should produce when it cools off, like 90*F. Razz

Thanks. They're partially covered. I noted they're limping when the sun is on them after the temp hits 100 degrees.
