have you heard of....Deltastar cucumber?
« on: June 01, 2006, 21:00:22 »
Can anyone help me please?  ??? I bought a cucumber plant from the garden centre last weekend, Delta star F1 mini cucumber, the problem I am facing is (1) no instructions about it being an indoor or outdoor plant and (2) no instructions stating if I am suppose to remove the male flowers or not.   

I have never grown cucumbers before so i have a few more questions why I have your attention  ;D
(3) can i keep the cucumbers in my unheated greenhouse even it is an outdoor plant?
(4) am I correct in saying I only need to remove the male flowers if I keep the plant indoors and it is suppose to be an outdoor plant? 
(5) can i allow the plant to keep growing or should i pinch the top out at some point? 

sorry to ask so many questions, as you can see I am new to growing cucumbers!!

If it all gets too much try Crystal Apple/lemon next year. The seeds are very cheap @ £1 for fifty, it can be grown outside but I keep mine in an unheated greenhouse. It is open pollinated so no messing with removing flowers. Downside, they are white/yellow skinned and spherical, but taste great!
 ;D
