Cutecumber - no, I don't they're dry now because of all the rain we've had but, hand on heart, they could have got a bit dry before the flowers came

There are six plants per 3m bed, urm, approx 60 - 70cm (2ft?) apart, they don't look over crowded

As to feeding Compost, horse manure on the bottom, top soil (bought), potash - oh and miracle grow. I forgot to mention that they are all producing runners like mad, we have been removing them every two days or so.

I got a horrible feeling they are spoilt little brats!
