Standard GREENHOUSE cucumbers i.e Telegraphs cannot be mixed with all female GREENHOUSE types i.e carmen? so i will need to keep them in seperate greenhouses?
Outdoor types cannot be mixed with standard types?
i had two different opinions from people and now am a bit confused?
thanks alot!
Don't mix outdoor and greenhouse cucs. The outdoor ones need pollination, the greenhouse ones turn bitter when pollinated. So you leave the male flowers on the outdoor ones, and remove then from the greenhouse varieties. Standard and all-female greenhouse cucs can be grown together; the only difference is that you don't have to bother emasculating the all-female varieties.
Thanks very much robert, thats put my mind at rest now!!
My seeds are all growing fine in a heated propogator. When ready, the Marketmore will be planted outside, Carmen and Ziena inside.
