outdoor cucumbers in a green house?

« on: July 13, 2013, 12:12 »

Only realised a while back that they were an outdoor variety ! What problems might I have with this ?

They need pollination, so keep windows and doors open - as if they'd be closed in this heat - to let the bees etc in

Until this year we've only ever grown Marketmore and only ever indoors after the first batch went outside and started expiring. In the lean-to potting shed and in the polytunnel, they've always done well.

I grew Marketmore last year for the greenhouse, as I've always failed with cukes.
I got half a dozen small cukes result!

I've got them outdoors this year - against the wall of the house (which holds the heat for ages after sunset).In the greenhouse I have grafted Passandra cukes this year and they really are amazing!
