This year I grew Marketmore outside and they were great little fellows and are still producing I have 3 still on the trellis. I have picked up a pack of Cucino F1 Hybrid in the Wyevale 50p sale and the packet states "Crisp flavoursome mini-fruits are produced prolifically throughout the season indoors or in a sheltered position outdoors"

Whatever a sheltered position outdoors actually is? 

Is that sun, wind or do they mean in the shade, anyone know?

I grew Cucino in the greenhouse this year. I had two plants - only because I grew two 'just in case', because I always seem to lose at least one plant due to neck rot, no matter how careful I am. The trouble is, once the plants are growing, I haven't got the heart to throw anything away. I have an 8' x 10' greenhouse, and needed a machete to get into it once these little chaps got away. At one stage I was cutting a dozen cucumbers every day. They are prolific, and the little cucumbers are tasty and very juicy, but take a tip from me and don't have more than 1 x plant in a greenhouse unless it's 10' x 20'! I ran out of people to give them to, and even the chickens got fed up with them. The plants are currently still producing cucumbers, but only at the rate of one or two per week, which is manageable.

I've always assumed that 'sheltered' in this context is essentially talking about protection from wind - but also taking into account positioning to avoid frost and other extremes of heat/hail blah blah... Has that 'definition' helped?

I loved Sweet Crunch, but couldn't get it to germinate this year.
