Cucmbers - problem?

Hi all,

I have 4 cucumber plants and there about 5 inchs high. About a wee ago i out them outside in my small plastic green house and i think the cold nights got to them a bit. Leafs a have started to go dry and brown around the edges.

The main thing is they now have flowers starting to open on them!? Do i pull them off or just leave them??

Thanks for any advice

They are gone my friend...hold a brief ceremony and get on with the next lot

I agree with unconcerned - in my experience of cucumber growing, once the leaves start browning off they can't be saved (& trust me I've tried on numerous occasions - i don't think they like me as I've never been successful with them !!)

They are like ficus...keep them away from drafts cold, heat and anything that seems natural and they thrive!

My 10 yr old has just chosen these as his veg for the season....he's already getting bored of veg growing. This will tip it over the edge 

Cucumbers hate cold and getting the base of their stems wet and they have a whole load of other reasons-to-die the cause of which they haven't told me I always sow loads more than I need and usually lose most/all the "spares"
