One of the Cucumbers in the greenhouse is 18 in tall but has 5 cucumbers growing on it already.Is this ok or should i cut some off?
Also do they like lots of water?
I have so much on the go i cant keep up with it all!!
My babys are all getting out of control!

Let it be for now.

Keep it moist, don't over water. Little & often is the way.

Thank you for the fast reply,i was getting worried as my neighbour has 4ft cucumber plants but no cucumbers yet.
We had our 1st beetroot from the garden yesterday along with a few raddishes and lettuce.
There is a courgette 4 ins long.
Its all getting exiting.

He's the one that should be getting worried, not you!
