  • Cucumber pollination

    I'm growing Vega F1 hybrid this year. It's growing well but only has female flowers. Does anyone know if this is OK and if it will self pollinate?

    Vega is an all female hybrid variety and self-pollinating. If you do get any male flowers pick them off before they get a chance to open.

        Female flowers have the embryonic fruit behind the flower, male flowers just have the stem.
