  • spines on cukes

    Ok this may sound like a daft question... the marketmore cukes have little spines on them like cacti. Do I rub them off and eat the skins? Peel them? Wait til they get bigger and then they drop off maybe?

    Never grown a cuke before and picked the first one today - was about 9 inches and nice and fat (no comments pls HW lol). Maybe I shold have waited? It tasted great though, I peeled it.

    Just rub them off and it will be fine.

      The plant won't set fruit when it has as many Cues on it as it can manage, so you need to keep picking them to keep getting more.
