Just to be different - this year I am not pinching out all the fruit up to 12-24" on half of them.
So - what will be the penalty??.
OOPS!! Being new to vegatable gardening I didn't realise that you were meant to pinch out. I have large cucumbers forming within 6 inches of the base of the plant. Will this efect the later fruits?
You're 'supposed' to allow the plant to develop before it starts bearing.
So - we'll learn together??
Sorry, Tim, I don't understand the question - it's probably senility, but I'm a mere youngster compared with yourself ;)
Do you mean that you are not removing any fruit that forms on the first 12-24" of stem of half your cus?
