  • Cucumber confusion

    I�m growing 2 varieties this year both new to me.
    Beth alpha - I�ve found lots of info on this variety from here and all over the interweb. Plant it let it do it�s own thing, no faffing about with male flowers and harvest nice little cucumbers from it.

    Carosello medio lungo pugliese - I can find very little about these. Lots of little cucumbers out there with very similar names. I think I�ve got the right one, but not 100% as having trouble with the hand writing on the label. I got them from VCs last random seed swap. No idea if these have male flowers that need picking off or anything.

    So should I grow the 2 varieties in separate tunnels to be on the safe side? I don�t want to produce bitter cucumbers.

    I would grow them separately just in case, bitter cucumbers are horrible.

      I think all the Carosellos are basically the same - just different in size and area of Italy where they're grown.

          I remember Sarico posting on here about Carosello - and sending some seeds from his Italian friends.
          Did try to grow them but don't remember much about them - sorry.

            Here's a link to a blog that Sarico sent me - you may have to translate it first!!
