CUCUMBERS!

well they grow from the border soil to the ridge of the greenhouse.......does that give you some idea Or in the border you could leave them to trail like pumpkin...

we have 12 x 8 greenhouse, have a single ladder wired to the roof of green house , the cucumber plant takes over the roof space in the greenhouse ,

after each cucumber sets we clip off the 3rd leaf , last year we grew 47 cucumbers of telgraph f1 ,

we growing 2 cucumber plants and 6 heirloom tango tomatoes in same greenhouse this year ,

also growing 4 clumps of marigolds , one in each corner to attract the bees and other insect preditors,

works for ur the last 3 years 

I grew cucumbers (cukes) in large pots, and put plastic wire mesh for them to cling.  Had no problem with them. 

By the way, if anyone's interested, apart from growing cukes, I also planted my tomatoes in the pots (one in each).  I bought the pots from Morrisons - 8 for 99p.  They are disused flower pots.  Just cut out some holes in the bottom, and they are just perfect.

Are those the (about) 12" black pots for holding cut flowers?

Sounds a good deal!! I wonder if our local store will have any when I get there at the week-end? Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all your answers ~~:)
I have Marketmore outdoor cukes so on your advice will provide them with support.

In-door (greenhouse) 'cumbers:

My dad had problems with his plants last year. Grown from seed (often quite early as he is impatient) and potted up in the greenhouse.

Plants doing nicely then - collapsed one after the other.

"We" decided it was to do with temperature fluctuations - too low over night despite lovely and warm during the day.

Anyone else had similar experiences & how might it be avoided other than wait until later in the year or heat greenhouse?

Reason for asking - my dad has sown cucumbers early again !! At 93 he is more impatient than he was at a younger age!!

Fair play to your dad m8 ,He probable know more than a lot of us, on here
