Well the choice is yours really but I prefer Sulphate of Ammonia or Chempak No2 but they are in-organic.

An organic opition is dried blood.

Have a look in here and you might get a better idea of what to use; http://tinyurl.com/2cwym3

Got our first cue this evening and there are more forming, can't wait to taste.

My crystal lemon & crystal apple aren't very well at all only got one plant of each . They are still recovering the black fly.

The cucumber was very nice and have another forming now which is quite big. Do you take off the male flowers at all?

I wouldn't take off any male flowers

I didnt with my Marketmores and they have been fruiting like crazy for about a month

Quite small but super tasty

I'm going to start leaving them on the plant a bit longer though, see how big I can get.
