Looks like my cumbers have gone mad this year...
So much for staggered planting these 2 plant were 3 weeks apart being set out in their buckets..

So rewarding?

But I would not let so many remain on the plants - they may well abort later ones?

Tim,These were in buckets with centre cut out .buried about a third of their depth into bed.. About a quarter of bucket filled with rotted horse manure then rest of bucket filled with general purpose compost.. Once established ,Fed with Miracle grow liquid plant food once a week ..When cu's appeared, Changed to Tomorite twice a week ..
Pretty much same way as I grow my toms..
EJ Tell her when she finds them I keep carrier bags in green shed key is under plant pot.. :) ..Jim
