mine were total shite, frankly

they were miniature white' from realseeds.
before I get sued however, we'll have to ask Lilo how she got on with them cos there is every chance that it was my own stupidity that made them shite

luuuurrrve cucumber, need to know what to grow next year and can I have a 'start seed off on sunny windowsill' date please?

fanx

ok.............well..........er.........sorry Tara but mine are still producing cukes

my ickle crystal lemon plants is still doing fantastic n'all

Mine are doing great too - have no idea what they are called lost the label But still producing

Think they were Marketmore maybe

mine were/are Marketmore, no stopping them - definite for next year. Plenty of seed if anyone wants a go

Burpless here and they were fantastic, weren't they Andy....

They were finished I tell you

Burpless Tasty Green here oop t' north. Good last year outdoors but fabbo outdoors again this year. Dead prolific. Grown in mayo tubs (big uns from the sarni shop) in growbag compost with some old trellis for support

Lilo,

if you save some seeds can I have some for next season?
(if at first you don't succeed...... .)

i never had any luck at all with cukes i put in 3 plants one witch is still in the greenhouse and looks really fantastic but no fruit

you and me both HT

it's looking like we should maybe go for 'marketmore' next year since it appears to have done well oop north and daan sarf


this is such a good idea Bagpuss and look! it's working already

Maybe they do better outside where the insects can get at em

Long Green Ridge Second season with them and they crop early, heavily and taste great. Outdoor

Marketmore First season trial. RUBBISH! Took ages to grow on, late to crop and light cropping. Have to say a great taste and fine skin though so going to give them a second chance. Outdoor.

Gosh! no-one's been here for two years!!!!

right.....this year I grew marketmore (free seeds from a magazine)
and wautoma from realseeds.
grew them in the same bed, gave the same care etc.
proper scientific like

anyhoo, marketmore (as Icy found) were tasty with a fine smooth skin.
Wautoma were quite prickly, not quite as cucumbery but more dense fleshed (and so better for tzatziki).

but here's the main finding.....(drum roll please)

Wautoma produced 10 TIMES AS MANY cucumbers per plant

I picked them all at 6 inches long and I kid you not, Wautoma made a full ten times more per plant

Wow! I grew a Burpless Green Tasty ... it produced one 6" fruit ... then croaked!

Can you save seed form Wat-the-blazes cuke Tara? If so can I have a couple (if we ever meet again ......~wistful sigh~)

Hi Bags

I bet you can save seeds from the What-the-blazes cues as they're from Real Seeds.

So, you gonna save us all some Tara, sweetie, dahling. Mwaagh

I got loads of BTG and Petitas so having plenty of it in salads, tonight it's going to be raita and on Friday tzatziki

I have been overwhelmed by marketmore from four plants - I am picking between 10 and 15 every two to three days!!!

I don't have no cucs The ones I thought had survived the onslaught are ...gherkins

I grew one Passandra cuc in the greenhouse which has been producing 1-2 cucs a week for the past 7 weeks The taste is quite good but they do have a lot more seeds in them than I'd like

A gherkin is a cue innit

I like the Petitas and have loadsa them. I just ordered Passandras Lil but sad to hear about the seeds

We had loads of cuc last night, cubed in a salad, to go with me spicy chicken kebabs

'ere Dom!
y'know them melo....methor...them funky little cucumber wotsits, meant to be trial but sold out thingamies you gave me?

well they're fab!
just picked them and only got a handful (only two plants survived and they were pretty ravaged ) but they taste fantastic and they're so cute!

gonna buy a packet of the seeds and have loads next year!
thanks hun!

I didn't do brilliantly with my indoor ones this year, prob cos with being in the shed they don't get watered as much!

Mind you, little man is getting cucumber finger food which is great for the teething!

(and a proper mess he gets into, too!)
