  • Too late to sow a cucumber?

    I've bleeping well missed all the cucs, grafted or otherwise, in the GCs. Too late to sow? I'll be grown in our backyard, in a pot, sheltered initially by a growhouse.

    Have a trawl round Facebook or similar to see if anyone has spare plants still ? - I usually grow 5 or 6 if I do them at all, in case I lose a couple - I'm guessing most others do that too.

      From the RHS:
      "Outdoor cucumbers can be sown directly into the soil in late May and early June"

        you can still sow cucumbers, once germinated keep them on a sunny windowsill, they will soon catch up

                I'm growing Socrates, an F1 mini-cucumber that I've done for 5 years or so in the polytunnel. Have 3 that are going well from 3 weeks ago, and 3 more I sowed last week as a precaution. If I had some more seeds I'd sow them now in full expectation of a crop.
