Allotments 4 All

I have two different varieties of cucumber plants standing next to each other in large pots in my greenhouse. One is producing lots of juicy cucumbers. The other (Burpee Tasty Green -an all female variety) looks healthy, is growing well and producing lots of flowers but these wither before producing fruit.
Any idea what's happening?

Had it been the other way round.. I would say lack of fertilisation... but as it's all female that shouldn't be the issue.. not got the tags mixed up?

The other plant is all female too. Unless the label was mixed up at the garden centre-always possible of course! If that was the case how can I persuade it to fruit?

Try misting the flowers with some clean water this might help the setting process!

Tasty Green always seems to cause confusion. It is an f1 hybrid but it isn't self fertile/all female
It can be grown outside as a ridge cucumber and needs pollination. Can you move it outside, so the pollinating insects can get to the flowers?

No chance of moving it out. It's twining up a home made trellis in the greenhouse. Why does the label say all female when it's not??

My Burpee Tasty Green plants are outside and producing loads of cucumbers.  I don't think they like growing in a greenhouse as I grew mine there last year and they only produced a few and didn't taste as good as this years do.
