The planting of slightly leggy gherkins
« on: June 18, 2009, 19:42 »
Hello all first question after saying hello in the welcome thread. I have to say I have gained loads of valuable information from this forum, thankyou to all of you.. This is my first year of growing veg, I have gherkins in 3inch pots  that are  slightly leggy, should I transplant these deeper like you would with brassicas, or not. I think the gherkin plant is a climber so maybe they are not leggy. Please help.

They don't like their stems to get wet so don't plant deeper :ohmy: Give them something to scramble up and they'll be happy. Ate my first one today as it was ready before the 'proper' cucumbers :)
