Some of my cucumbers have got spikes on, I only grew on variety so can't understand why this has happened.

Having read the previous comments I thought I would add my details. I am growing "Tasty King" which cost £1.99 for 20 seeds. I have used 2 seeds so are cheap enough. We have already had 6 cucumbers to eat and you can see there are many more to follow.They are growing in large pots and take about half gallon of water each day and feed twice a week. It says on the packet that they can be grown outside as well.

All goes well - but, as per, I get a lot of yellowing, mushing leaves at the base.
Do others?

I haven't had time to clear the space to pot mine on so they are still in root trainers - but one is growing little cukes. They get water mixed with Maxicrop in the bottom of the container - hydroponics anyone? :)
PS I removed the developing cucumbers from the first foot or so of stem a few weeks back, these are at the end.

Taken today, and still only little ones on the plant. Nothing picked for us at the moment, maybe before the season is out we shall get a glut.
Here's hoping for at least one off the plant.

My cukes are not even a foot long yet. I am just waiting to see if I can get one to munch on.

My outdoor types are doing terribly now, they fruited early but since then have hardly grown and are going yellow....thank goodness the indoor ones are going great guns!

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Mine is neither, but it is growing in a coldframe.
Perhaps there is not enough light to allow them to fruit properly.

I've still got some Petita so won't be into Passandra until next year, though might try Socrates instead. In the meantime I'm trying La Diva (from Tuckers) - all female but not a hybrid so cheaper.
Has anyone tried Iznik F1 (from POD)? Thought it might suit as I'm pushed for space.

I have at last got a couple of cues off the plant in the shed! Yum. Both picked before they were at maximum size (still some ridging lengthways) so hopefully this will mean that the oodles of smaller ones will continue growing and not go yellow because there's a full sized one on the plant. I hope!

Do you folk trail your outdoor cukes then? I thought you grew them up canes ( sorry if asking the obvious...first time I've grown cukes...3 so far from greenhouse)

I grow them on the flat because we have room.
These are indoor
