cucumber help please

[veggiechicken]

she seems to be holding her own. unfortunately her sibblings died but i think thats because i put them on the balcony where it was to windy for them.

This is interesting! Gazz's cucumber is an unnamed female - all the other named cucumbers have been male. Would make a good topic for a dissertation

mmm yes you are right, lots of variables.... ironically, Colin only produces female fruit/flowers. Have I called him Colin because there is a subliminal sense of strength in the male name. If I called my cucumber Katy, would she have died..... just finished a dissertation for my professional degree .... this would be more interesting I think :0

Just wait until Potty Colin reads this - "a subliminal sense of strength"........ we'll never hear the last of it
Why don't you do a dissertation on this topic? It would be original thought - not like the one that Nicos has posted about pot bound plants not thriving

Me I just blush, rushing of now to get my dictionary and find out what the words mean.


Colin aka Potty picked me second cumber today. Must be me Subliminal whatsits.

[veggiechicken]

Wow, Potty, You've got two?

[Potstubsdustbins]

Only little one's VC only little. I grow Baribal a mini cumber but it does tend to be earlier than some.

I'm growing Minimunch and its so Mini I have no proof that its a cukey yet

[Potstubsdustbins]

Funnily enough I didn't get on with them either. I changed to Baribal about 4 years ago and have stayed with them ever since, early, prolific and disease resistant, they just tick all my boxes.

I'm only growing Minimunch because the seeds were 50p in the seed sell -off last winter!
I'll look out for Baribal next winter
