I'm only growing mini cues this year but getting lots of them  :)
 
Pickings - toms, cucs, Florence fennel (yay!  :D), celery (woohoo) more Charlottes, fat carrots (D'Eysines), bay leaves, Italian flat parsley, sweetcorn  :tongue2:  Oh and yet more blackberries. I'm eating those at every meal now.  I have too as they're free  :)

We've previously had growing success with Marketmore and Crystal Lemon (both indoors), but these are Piccolo di Parigi (funky green seeds ;)) which although we have a few plants, seem to be really prolific fruiters too. Instead of little gherkin sized fruits, we're only harvesting when they get to about half or more normal cucumber length by about normal cucumber girth.

I think vinegar and yoghurt (for the soup recipe I posted) are high on the shopping list. ::)

Sorry Mum - 9 outdoor cukes to go with the 1 outdoor cuke picked the other day and 6 from the grafted cukes today as well.  :)

If it's worth anything - until last year when I had minimal success with outdoor ones indoors (grand total of 5 last year as I recall) I can only keep recommending the grafted ones - worth every penny.

As for the outdoor ones - I chanced them in pots by the back door, knowing that that wall gets the sun from 12 pm and holds the heat to nearly 11pm - even this time of year!!!

I shall just stick with the grafted ones next year (and grafted aubs too) just need the second greenhouse now!! :lol:
