You tell 'em Basil! (sorry, sclarke624!)
I keep trying but I don't know why; have grown them in a cold frame and they
sort of produced before turning into crisps (red spider mite, I suspect) and outdoors I am lucky if the first lot survives so the second batch tends to run out of time.........
This year of course will be different because we are going to have a cucumber-friendly summer, aren't we?
