The g/children were allowed in this am - 7 off the first 2 plants.

But suddenly realised I had not given the plants any food!

27 March - planted out (cold 'house) 30 April.

Earlier than usual because, unusually, I let the fruit grow from the base. Nagged by the g/c.

Look great Tim.

You know that law, that one that sod invented....well, in the greenhouse I have 4 cuce plants, all growing and being nurtured as I hoped to gain a few weeks and get a nice early crop, the rest of the plants, another 3, went out on the plot about 4 weeks ago.  The ones on the plot, covered in fruits starting about 2 fingers wide and about 6 inches long, ones in the greenhouse, not a flower! Why bother?

Our daughter Mia (2 yrs) loves cucumber. As I have always failed fairly miserably in the cold g/house, this year I have grown Sutton's Burpless tasty Green as recommended by Tim. They are an outside ridge variety and I have to say are doing quite well with tiny fruits on etc...got some in g/h and others outside on the plot.
