No, dead easy - same as any other cuke, don't let them dry out and plenty of sun.

Cheers both.
The seeds haven't arrived yet so it'll be interesting seeing how they do.
And yes - I bought some tubers of New Zealand yam - he's got a lot to answer for.....

I believe they are on about keeping the seeds from their crop to grow next year.

That's 'open pollinated' - hence asking the question as disregarding something because it isn't heirloom [whatever that means] is discounting lots of good veg that are OP and can be saved from.
