Cucumbers
« on: May 09, 2011, 22:38 »
Hi all,

I have about 10 cucumber plants in pots in the green house, 5 leaf avg on each. Question is now what do I do with them? Limited instructions on packet. I was thinking putting them in our plastic cold frame, in compost. Do they need canes etc  :ohmy:

Cheers

Cukes are very cold sensitive so if you're sure the cold frame won't be too cold, you could put them in there. Some cukes are bush variety, most are climbers, so it helps to know what you have. I prefer to let mine climb (my Munty frame) to save space. In a cold frame, they can scramble but you couldn't fit too many in there or you risk mold from cramped growth. If you've not enough space, you could plant them outside against a brick wall for warmth as they're a tropical plant.

Are they in door or out door variety?
