Well it has been two weeks since I last looked at the cucumbers and this is how they are doing.



Not much to shout about, but given time I think I might get a few.

Result Landimad!
all but 1 of mine have succumbed to powdery mildew. But we had a few good uns so am pleased with my 1st attempt at growing them. Think I will plant them out on the plot next year instead of them being in pots in the garden and taking it over !

the label just says F1 Mini whether thats' a name or just a description I'm not sure.We buy the plants as the seed is so expensive and you only need a couple to fail and it makes the remainders a bit pricey ::)
