    I'm having the same problem, we have lots of cucumbers and can't eat them fast enough. I will be watching with interest.

    to stop cucumber going to mush, do not wrap it. if it is left unwrapped the end will dry out and you only have to cut off the dry bit to use the rest. i have been able to keep them for weeks like this.

    I don't wrap cucumbers either, just put it straight in the fridge, usually on the middle shelf. Then when I use it again, usually a day or two later I only have to cut off about 1 -2 cm's.

    I have the best luck when I put them in a Fridgesmart (Tupperware) - I put them in unwrapped and they seem to last longer.
