I thought mine were doing well. OH said the plants have loads on but are about 3-4" long at the moment. This year I have switched from Carmen (Great by the way, cropped loads 12-16 inches last year), to a smaller lunchbox size cucumber - Socrates. Supposedly grows to 6-7 inches.

1. Thread should, of course, be 'Under Glass'.

2. Didn't mean to seek glory. Each year of late I have both sown, & bought in as belt & braces. This year I wanted to get better succession so bought in an early lot. They went in on 17/4. As yet no extra feed. Rest are not in yet.

3. We too only grow the small ones thses days - more useful. So this is only 7" long.
