Grow Your Own Magazine

I wa reading my Hessayon book (essential bedtime reading, of course) and it said that you shouldn't plant cucumbers straight into greenhouse borders and that they should always go in a growbag.

Is this right? I was just going to plant them into the soil in my g/house, but am worried that they won't do very well.

Anyone planted into border soil with no problems before?

Thanks

Yep, couple of times, planted straight into g/h border along with toms & aubs, no problemo! Well actually the only slight problem was the HUGE quantites of cukes that grew and the plant escaping from the g/h.

Always plant mine in pots but my brother has his in the beds and always does fine - in fact more than fine last year as he had a mega glut.

excuse me jumping on a thread but have a relevant q:- my greenhouse cukes are getting huge - should i be attending to unwanted new shoots in the same way I pull out the armpit type shoots on my toms???
