Too right B B �2 �3 or �4 for half a dozen seeds , for a plant that does'nt like to begin a life.It coud've been beginners luck last year for me ! last year was my first year as an allotment holder . good luck with your cucs .

I've got my Marketmore and Burpless, but when I ordered all my seeds at T&m they gave me F1 Carmen free of charge.

It's germinated just fine (only four seeds in the packet), but I was wondering whether anyone has tried this variety before and how was the taste.

dunno how you got them for free they are very pricey plants :happy: only one carmen plant would probably give you too many cucumbers it grows like crazy and has loads of fruit its like a plant on steroids or something i had to chop mune back as it was starting to smuther my 6 ft tall toms!!

I ordered a lot of seeds, and these arrived with them...noted on the delivery docket as �0.00. I did look them up in the catalogue and it was eight quid odd. If they prove to be turbo charged and they taste good then I would pay for them next year - my son will only eat cucumbers and peas.

I sowed 2 seeds in a pot they came up grew to about an inch tall then flopped over and died any ideas why

definately been over watered - once the seed has germinated always water from the bottom never from the top - yours died of damping off disease...
