  • What do I do with my giant cucumber plant

    I am not sure what to do about my cucumber which has now grown taller than my greenhouse. I don't really want to cut it but maybe is should.

      Usually cucumbers are grown up the sides then parallel withthe ridge. If it goes faurther than that it could be trained back down the other side.

          Pinch the tip out, then let the two most top side shoots develop into new stems and let them hang back down again. (your need something at the top for them to hang down from, I use string tied across the whole greenhouse. )

          To make it all happen quicker, make sure no new stems are growing from the original stem anywhere else.
