    Are you going to save some seeds?
    Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.

      still got a few I believe, I only showed a couple plants to try them out - gave some seeds to a Grape who was in need of some

      I will save seed - yes

        Do you have to remove the male flowers to stop the fruit being bitter?

          I haven't done so - to be honest it didn't occur to me, the fruits aren't bitter, but maybe they'd have been even non-bitterer if I had?

            Dunno. I had read you didn't need to, but then another lemon cuke grower asked as their 1st cuke had been bitter...mine are nowhere near! Boo-hoo!

                It won't be long before the 'normal' ones in the greenhouse are ripe though.

                  Have a packet of seeds but got them to late for this year so will be trying them next year. I must remember next year to make sure I grow all the same type of cucumbers either all female or male & female, it's impossible to grow both side by side.
