It's a good feeling isn't it! I'm growing cucumbers (Tiffany F1) for the first time this year and noticed my first ones a couple of weeks ago - very exciting to have a "new" crop! Good luck with your harvest!Comment

I grew my first cucs last year from G.C. bought plants. F1s and a great success they were (even if they did cause me stress as I didn't know what I was doing - as bad as bringing up a child and wondering all the time where you are going wrong!!)Originally posted by veggielover View PostIts a teeny tiny one but its there!!!!

Anyway, this year I grew my own. I have three different kinds in the G/H and today I have cut my first cucumber. It's called Tasty King and it was delicious.
No messing with taking off the male flowers. I have two others called Marketer (which also doesn't require removal of the male) and which have smaller cucs on and one called Telegraph Improved (NOT F1) which is a B & Q jobby. This one does require removal of male flowers. All very confusing.
I can still remember last year's excitement when I saw my very first teeny tiny cucumber. I was so enthused it's rubbed off on my 8 year old grandaughter who now helps me in the veggie patch and is growing her own spuds.
Enjoy it VeggieLover. Remember to cut it off, not pull it.Last edited by Sanjo; 30-06-2009, 01:04 PM.Comment
