and are they???? (burp- less???)  Growing them for OH this year cos he can't stomach the  erm  ahem wind he gets from the skins! ;)

[manicscousers]

yep, ray gets the same problem, he didn't eat cucumber for years, last year he was tucking into them and is looking forward to eating them this year  :)

In or outdoors?

And surely, if you peel them, no problem?

[manicscousers]

both, we've two in and two out, don't peel them, just rub the outside to take off the rough bits  :)

So it's the outdoors ones you're eating??

[manicscousers]

yes, , they are outdoor ones, just grown inside for early supplies  :)

OK - so they are INDOORS!!

That's about right. Pity about the prickles. The grandchildren prefer them scrubbed off!
