  • Cucumber issues

    Hello all
    I have successfully grown some Telegraph cucumbers this year in the greenhouse but have a very stupid problem. I can't tell the difference between the male and female flowers. I know that the females have a small fruit behind but i can't see one and every flower looks the same. I have got some cucumbers but am worried they will taste bitter because i didn't pick off the male flowers. Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Helly Welly and welcome to the vine. I hope you enjoy if here and get loads out of your stay.

    Unfortunately Iam not a cucumber expert having only had my first successes this year and those on outdoor cucumber but I am sure one of the other grapes will be able to help.
    Bright Blessings

    If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

      Hi, I'm new to the vine and only started growing veg this year, my only advice would be: if you can't tell the difference now, leave it a few weeks to see what happens, also, September seems quite late for cucmumbers, anyway, I know very little so please seek other expert advice!!!

        Hi Helly welly, We all have our issues some people have bigger issues than other people. I still haven't answered your question have I so here goes the cucumbers should have small fruits just behind the flower maybe your plant is just producing male flowers
        Can You get a picture and put it on here
