Cucumber - Small and Dumpy

Hi All,

Just a quick question really.

My cucumbers are in grow bags in a plastic tyoe green house.

The plants are growing well and producing fruit.

However, the 1st 5 or 6 cucumbers are quite small and dumpy. About 150mm long by about 60mm wide.
There really juicy and tastey, so not a problem in that department - just for knowledge in  case i'm doing something incorrectly really.

Any ideas


 

Check the type.
I grow this type because each one is big enough for a meal with no waste, unlike the larger ones with half having to be kept in the fridge for later use.
They usually produce that many that I still have to give some away.

Hi again,

Thanks for the info - I think they are marketmore type if that sounds right.

Your dead right about the right size though - I cucumber for 1 meal - Fresh straight from the plant.

Can't get that in the supermarkets !!!!!!!

 

Is the cucino tasty? Do you grow it outside/ under glass? Sounds like a good one for limited space.

  The one growing indoors is 8ft tall, and still climbing 

Are all cucumber plants that big; I only have about 110cm of height.

Crystal Lemon for example climbs only to about 4 feet, but that's classed as a bush for cukes. You can let them go around in circles though...
