Are you going to save some seeds?

[piskieinboots]

still got a few I believe, I only showed a couple plants to try them out - gave some seeds to a Grape who was in need of some

I will save seed - yes

Do you have to remove the male flowers to stop the fruit being bitter?

[piskieinboots]

I haven't done so - to be honest it didn't occur to me, the fruits aren't bitter, but maybe they'd have been even non-bitterer if I had?

[smallblueplanet]

Dunno. I had read you didn't need to, but then another lemon cuke grower asked as their 1st cuke had been bitter...mine are nowhere near! Boo-hoo!

*posts cukes to wherever it is herself lives

It won't be long before the 'normal' ones in the greenhouse are ripe though.

Have a packet of seeds but got them to late for this year so will be trying them next year. I must remember next year to make sure I grow all the same type of cucumbers either all female or male & female, it's impossible to grow both side by side.
