Cucumbers male or female?
« on: August 15, 2010, 20:35 »
Eventually my 2 cucs are starting to produce fruit,size of a pickled gerkin, and I have check the seed packet and it says they were F1 seeds.  Does that mean I will have only female ie sweet tasting cucs or do I have  to do something to ensure that?  Sorry for all these questions but I suspect 20 years from now I will still be asking questions.
Time waits for no man and I can't wait for growth.

F1 does not necessarily mean they are all female. It should really say on the packet.

What variety are they?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
