Another Cucumber question
« on: July 09, 2010, 17:18 »
Sorry to post another cucumber question  ::)

My cucumbers in the greenhouse are finally playing ball and shooting upwards... they are also sending out side shoots ???.

Is it best to cut off the side shoots and leave them to grow up like tomato plants or are they best left alone to grow?

many thanks
 :)

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

Don't touch them!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

best leave well alone , the cucumber will build itself a network of vines ect climbers, just keep watered well , feed well too

No probs...

I'll leave them to grow...

Might have to see about putting some horizontal canes in to give them support before they take over the floorspace  :ohmy:

Thanks for your replies :)
