Came back this morning with 5 outdoor cucumber, 4 yesterday, another 4 will be ready in a few days with another 6 probably by the end of the week.

What on earth do I do with that many, I have a cucumber and apple chutney on the go, the piggies will have a couple and the kids will have some too but what happened to the plant its gone from doing very little to overdrive  :blink:

Just curious...... what type of outdoor cucumber do you grow?

I can't grow enough although has been a much better year than the last few.

Try a variety called "Marketmore" they are a heavy cropper :)

I have grown Marketmore too. They are very prolific.
Three plants - cropping well for four or five weeks rising from two at first to now six cucumbers a day. We eat all we can and give them away to people who like real cucumbers
