We have had our 4-5th cucumber and thought about shapes for the children £60 for 2 plastic tubes  :nowink:anyone got any ideas on how we can shape them much cheaper.

There was a discussion on this last year - tried a search but it seems to have been pruned.

Thanks Springland.

I have some heart-shaped cucumber shapers from Japan (I think). Cost a fortune, and are very narrow-bore for cucumbers varieties we grow here.  But it was fun!

Key thing is getting the fruit out, of course. These had sophisticated hinges and "latches" to hold them shut ...

I've looked at those shapers too Kris. So expensive, but I'm sure you could come up with something!

We want photo's when you do!!!!
