hi my cucumbers looking good for a first effort just a quick question should I keep taking off the growth points behind a flower or does it not really matter thx.

I just left them to get on with it so if I'm supposed to be doing something I haven't been

I remove the growth points and train the plant as a single cordon. It's more about keeping the plants neat and tidy than anything else for me. Left to their own devices I find that they'll scramble all over the greenhouse or tunnel. Your plants look healthy enough so if you've got the room, let them roam free.

I grow Cucino which is quite modest in habit and easier to keep under control. Lovely crunchy cues too

I am growing these too, for the second year. An amazing crop of small cucumbers and as you say, CQ, easy to  keep under control. Got them in the 50p sale last year too

50p sale! Lucky you!  They're like buying money

i take off all the side shoots and just leave the flowers that are on the main stem, i grow mine up single strings and looks like your doing the same.

all of mine in the past have exhausted themselves when i have left the side shoots to fruit and it gave me a glut, this could just be me of coarse.

They are so fast & prolific producers, I may have gone overboard planting as many as I have
