  • Cucumber - is this a side shoot or a mini cucumber?! (pic)

    Hi,

    Growing cucumbers for first time since i was a kid and hope someone can help...

    The variety is "Female F1 Hybrid" - should I be nipping off side shoots or other bits and bobs?
    If i should be, then what do i do with the bit in the pic - is that a mini cucumber?!

    Sorry for being a muppet, but i want to try to get this right.

    Many thanks,

    Nick

      yup it your first baby cuke! Congrats!
      Serene she stand amid the flowers,
      And only count lifes sunny hours,
      For her dull days do not exist,
      Evermore the optimist

        err, not quite. the "first" one got nipped off by yours truly before i thought of asking what it was...

        but it's good to know that things are growing!

        now what about nipping off side-shoots - should i be doing that?

        thanks guys,

        Nick

          I don't bother unless they get too unruly. I suppose space would dictate whether you do or not?
          Happy Gardening,
