Why is it that cucumbers can be so difficult and yet courgettes keep on giving...and giving....and giving?

I just love beetroot and grow loads - pickled white beetroot with star anise ohhhh only one jar left which I shall have to eek out till next lot have grown aprt from that it has to be mixed salad leaves I save a fortune growing them

indoor cues are a bit sulky and can drop down dead if given too much water but the outdoor ones don't seem half as temperamental

I watered mine yesterday in the greenhouse and noticed one this morning was looking a bit floppy    There were only four measly seeds in the packet two and they cost £2.50  Hardly any room for error there

I've had it with cucks, once this packet is empty thats it no more.

You tell 'em Basil! (sorry, sclarke624!) 

I keep trying but I don't know why; have grown them in a cold frame and they sort of produced before turning into crisps (red spider mite, I suspect) and outdoors I am lucky if the first lot survives so the second batch tends to run out of time.........

This year of course will be different because we are going to have a cucumber-friendly summer, aren't we? 

[diggerjoe]

I'd settle for a plant friendly summer it would make a change

Leeks & Parsnips & New Potatoes for me.  Both cost a fortune in the shops, taste nothing like you get home grown, and store (either left in the ground - or bagged up) for ages.

Anything I can fit into my little space! Wouldn't grow it if I didn't love it!

Tut! Basil you chimp. LOL
I don't even like the taste of garden cucumber anyway, dare I say I prefer supermarket.
