Haven't tasted it yet but my mouth is watering slurp :P
Congratulations. Mine only got planted out last week, but I live in hope.
Well done Roy!! My sis has grown cuces for the first time ever this year in her new greenhouse, and she couldn't believe how sweet and flavoursome a home grown, freshly cut cuce could be!
:o This was outside on the compost heap :o Ooh err :o is it edible ??? Don't want to get a dicky tum tum :o
Of course it is! I grow some of my best spuds, beans and pumpkins in my compost heap! ;D
;D Thanks Emma ;D
Well done RoyB.
I have had an outdoor cue, BUT........... I find they give me an after taste and make my mouth go all tingly. As I have allergies to some hairy fruit, Kiwi worst and strawberries being the 2nd worst. This is the same feeling so I think i am not going to be able to eat them. Oh B****R it and I have planted 5.
Oh well neighbours will love me as there are bound to be loads.
Roy I planted my spuds in manure but did make sure to give them a good wash before eating. I cut my first cue the other day and was surprised what a good size it was. A few days before it was miniscule so it just how quick they develop. Mine was an outdoor cue, Burpless Tasty Green, ta for the seed someone (sorry, I forgot who gave it to me) :)
Think it might have been me Wardy :)
Are they any good? Haven't had any from mine yet :-\
And Hurrah Roy for your homegrown cu ;D
Moggle It was you! :) Ta very much. Yes it was very crunchy and delish :) Here it is for you to see ;D It's the only one I have ever grown and am ridiculously proud of it ;D ;D
Very nice Wardy.
I have 10 BTG plants, the fruits are just forming now.
Do you think I'll have enough fruit for a family of 4? ;) :-[

Same here Wardy, it's exciting isn't it? ;D My Cucumber variety is called
'telegraph' the flesh is delicious but has to be skinned as it is quite tough, :( a bit like eating black pudding with the skin on. :-\ ;D
Roy The skin on my BTG cue was prickly but I couldn't be bothered to peel it. When it was cubed and on my salad it was fine :) I think the outdoor types are supposed to be toughies :)
ROTH I'm sure 10 plants will be suffish. I'm not sure how many fruits per plant to expect though. I have four plants but still only the one cue but I have spied another titchy one :)
