Thanks

I dont think its too late - what have you got to lose may as well give it a go.

Burpless Green and Gerkins for me.

Mine cucumber seed (burpless) went staight in the soil last weekend, don't have great expectation but then i will be all the more happy if they come up.
Growing gerkins aswell (first time) but they are happily shooting in bog rolls indoors

I am doing the crystal apple. Only have room for the one plant so gave the other plant to my friend

Can't remember the type, but they are outdoor ones at present still on the bedroom windowsill. They are my second attempt - I was far too early sowing in February and although I got good speedy germination, they legged it!

I'm trying Marketmore for outdoors, no sign of germination yet, but I only planted them a week ago.

I'm growing Tiffany in the greenhouse, marketmore and greenfingers outside. I only put the seeds in a couple of weeks ago, but with a bit of heat they were through in 3 days, and are now getting their second leaves. I planted my courgettes at the same time.
I'm later on the greenhouse cukes ones this year, but should still see a worthwhile cropping time hopefully.

I plan on the following this season:

• Beth Alpha
• General Lee
• Korean
• Poona Kheera
• Sikkim
• Suhyo Long Slicing
• Super Zagross Middle Eastern Slicing

Not Really cucumbers, but these as well:

• cyclanthera Pedata
• Mexican Sour Gherkin

I popped the pots in bags in the airing cupboard yesterday and the first one had emerged when I looked this morning, yay!

I have 21 x Femspot, 21 x Pepinex and 24 x Passandra - only had 1 of each variety didn't germinate. They have all produced their first true leaf as of yesterday, and will be planted out in the tunnel as and when I can clear the floorspace (full of brassica seedlings waiting to be planted out)

my 1st cue

Couldn't believe it today,1st cucumber on my plant I'm growing them in the polytunnel, the plant is only 8" tall should it have produced already?

I've got 20 Marketmores all just produced their first true leaf in the last few days
