I did it accidentally last year by growing the females in a separate blowaway that was set away from other veg.
This year actually going to plan things outAnything is possible with the right attitude, a hammer
and a roll of duct tape.

I ended up with some Beth Alpha this year, but I've got two little greenhouses, so it will camp out with the tomatoes in one, while the F1/All female, types all go in the other one. Chillies will go in both, just because...Location:- Rugby, Warwckshire on Limy clay (within sight of the Cement factory)Comment

I came on here to search for "Baby" cucumbers as son No 2 has just picked one from the greenhouse and has had a nasty shock. It was absolutely awful - very bitter. I was surprised as I have been growing these for 3 years and have found them to be faultless - very prolific and amazingly tasty. I have 3 Baby plants in there and we have been picking for quite a few weeks now.
However, I think you have helped me solve the puzzle. I have one other cucumber plant in the greenhouse - I think it is "Marketmore" - old seed which I set and then gave the plants away, other than a couple which are outside in my garden. This one plant is still in my greenhouse as I am keeping it for a friend who hasn't been able to come and pick it up yet. I've now chucked it into the garden!!Comment
