4th time the charm?

So the cucumbers still evade me.  The third one died.  The cute little cukes that did grow, around five total that was about half inch to one inch long, yellowed and died.  There was one day that I did not get a chance to water. Well that must have sealed it's fate.  It was also looking like the leaves were getting scorched. It's been so hot here in Florida. I do have some netting that I may use to give it partial shade and maybe it will protect it from pesky bugs.

This time I planted in a five gallon bucket as the previous containers were too small. I hope this makes a difference.  I will add mulch to the top so it doesn't dry out as fast.
