Cucumber Advice

[supraflyguy]

Not so much a problem with my cucmber, just some advice needed. I sowed some cucumber seeds at the start of May (sorry can't remember what variety, think it was Saladin), Anyhoo, the 6 seeds (yes I know too many!) all germinated and I have potted them all up as they've grown.

At the moment they are in my blow away greenhouse with the top shelf removed due to their height, but today I noticed that they have grown 'tentacles' (not sure of the proper name sorry!) and have wrapped themselves around one of the shelving bars. Should I just leave them be? Was thinking of transferring to a growbag but not sure now. Any advice greatly appreciated

They've grown what.....

I think I've just misread that I'll fetch me glasses

I thought this when I went to pot up some of my cucumber plants and they'd wrapped their tentacles around the sticks of other plants.

I just carefull unwound them and repotted them. They seem fine and have wrapped themselves around their own sticks now and have started to fruit.

you should be ok to move it, Ive done it. Just be gentle. Although I thought saladin was a lettuce variety

Thanks for the advice guys

As I said in the first message, I didn't know what else to call them! Plus none of my photos will upload to the site so I couldn't show you what I meant

Oh and Jax, I think that was the name, don't have the packet anymore and that is what I found in the Marshall seeds catalogue but I could be wrong.

i think there tendrils they allow the plant to climb/ramble they wing around stick branch etc and then support the fruit
