Cucumber question
« on: April 20, 2011, 08:40 »
I have some cucumber marketmore seeds to sow, can anyone tell me if these are suitable to grow in the greenhouse? Or should I find an outdoor site for them? Also if they can go in the greenhouse would it be ok to grow them alongside courgettes?

Thanks

Cindy

Have you seen this recent thread?

Seems the main problem would be that they need pollinating to set fruit which you would almost certainly have to do manually if grown in a greenhouse.

Ditto courgettes unless you have one of the parthenogenic varieties which doesn't need pollinating.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
