outdoor cucumbers
« on: May 27, 2011, 06:51 »
I started off 3 types inside in March, transferred to 4" pots then put out in the zippy at the end of April. They've been completely hardened off now but I'm waiting for the last of the broad beans before I plant them out.
They are all flowering and clambering like the clappers!
Should I forget my plans and just bung them in big pots or will they be ok for another week with a feed? Or do we eat tiddly broad beans? Decisions decisions!
Don't want to lose them now.....

If you have the space and the compost you could probably pot them on again. Should be fine - then you can move them round to suit yourself and give the broad beans a chance.

Only problem might be coping with the lengthy growth from the cumbers... maybe a cane in each large pot to keep them manageable?
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

Done!
Potted on into 6" pots with sticks and a little feed. I reckon there are a couple of cues already which is amazing seeing as they've braved the wind and lower temps.
Thought cues were tempermental......famous last words...... :ohmy:
Thanks again Learner!
Now I can wait for the broad beans to fill out nicely........

Broad beans = worth waiting for!

Those cucumbers will catch up well once the weather warms  ;)
