Allotments 4 All

;D Like a kid with a new toy ;D

My Lottie neighbour pointed out that I have a few Marrows forming, when I got over the excitement I started looking around for more suprises and wam bam thank you mam this is what I found, :o ;D Tee hee I'm like a proud father, :) I love surprises ;D



Haven't tasted it yet but my mouth is watering slurp :P

Congratulations. Mine only got planted out last week, but I live in hope.

Well done Roy!!  My sis has grown cuces for the first time ever this year in her new greenhouse, and she couldn't believe how sweet and flavoursome a home grown, freshly cut cuce could be!

 :o This was outside on the compost heap :o Ooh err :o is it edible ??? Don't want to get a dicky tum tum :o

Of course it is!  I grow some of my best spuds, beans and pumpkins in my compost heap!  ;D

 ;D Thanks Emma ;D

Well done RoyB.

I have had an outdoor cue, BUT........... I find they give me an after taste and make my mouth go all tingly. As I have allergies to some hairy fruit, Kiwi worst and strawberries being the 2nd worst. This is the same feeling so I think i am not going to be able to eat them. Oh B****R it and I have planted 5.

Oh well neighbours will love me as there are bound to be loads.

Roy   I planted my spuds in manure but did make sure to give them a good wash before eating.  I cut my first cue the other day and was surprised what a good size it was.  A few days before it was miniscule so it just how quick they develop.  Mine was an outdoor cue, Burpless Tasty Green, ta for the seed someone (sorry, I forgot who gave it to me)  :)

Think it might have been me Wardy  :)

Are they any good? Haven't had any from mine yet  :-\

And Hurrah Roy for your homegrown cu  ;D

Moggle   It was you!  :)   Ta very much.  Yes it was very crunchy and delish  :)  Here it is for you to see  ;D  It's the only one I have ever grown and am ridiculously proud of it  ;D ;D

Very nice Wardy.

I have 10 BTG plants, the fruits are just forming now.

Do you think I'll have enough fruit for a family of 4?   ;)  :-[

Same here Wardy, it's exciting isn't it? ;D My Cucumber variety is called 'telegraph' the flesh is delicious but has to be skinned as it is quite tough, :( a bit like eating black pudding with the skin on. :-\ ;D

Roy   The skin on my BTG cue was prickly but I couldn't be bothered to peel it.  When it was cubed and on my salad it was fine  :)  I think the outdoor types are supposed to be toughies  :)

ROTH   I'm sure 10 plants will be suffish.  I'm not sure how many fruits per plant to expect though.  I have four plants but still only the one cue but I have spied another titchy one  :)
