I'm growing 'Marketmore' outdoor cucumber. Is this a variety where I have to remove the flowers. I remember something about needing to take male flowers off some varieties.

Anyone able to help the clueless  ?

Although I'm no cucumber expert I would say there is no need to remove male flowers on this variety,
   I had a look at suttons on growing info for marketmore and nothing was mentioned about removing flowers.
   I'm growing indoor variety telegraph this year and on my seed packet it says to remove male flowers so I would presume it would say it on you packet if you need to (presuming you still have the packet )

Ridge cucumbers (including Marketmore) need to be pollinated, so you must leave the male flowers on.
