Allotments 4 All

Well it has been two weeks since I last looked at the cucumbers and this is how they are doing.



Not much to shout about, but given time I think I might get a few.

picked a monster of a cucumber today 20 inch long, biggest I have grown.

Picked half a dozen white ones from the greenhouse...
Size isn't everything Simon...  ;D

lol, very true

Here is the prize that I have been waiting upon.



Not the biggest but its the first I have grown. ;D
More to come if the weather holds.

Result Landimad!
all but 1 of mine have succumbed to powdery mildew. But we had a few good uns so am pleased with my 1st attempt at growing them. Think I will plant them out on the plot next year instead of them being in pots in the garden and taking it over !

my plants are now starting to die off, saying that, ive had almost 20 per plant this year so i am not surprised. there are a few left which i will grow on till they are ready

So much for the great Cucumber grower!!

Passandra. Usually 400 from 8 plants, ending October.

So far 158 from 12 plants & they're going over.

Grandchildren are incensed!!

We grow the 1/2 size cues and to date (he's still picking) the OH has picked 144 from two plants :o

Good going in anyone's language!

What variety?

the label just says F1 Mini whether thats' a name or just a description I'm not sure.We buy the plants as the seed is so expensive and you only need a couple to fail and it makes the remainders a bit pricey ::)

Starting to get sick of cucumbers at the moment, tubing them up for the only two shows i am entering, village show tomorrow, i may have a nice pair.
