I'm growing some cues. Only 3 seeds have taken out of 5 which I thought was a bit rough but anyhoo, two of the plants are fine but the 3rd one has produced some odd shaped cues They look like a U shape anyone got any ideas why?

[bridget mc laughlin]

Are the cues laying on the ground

[SimplyPotty]

no they're growing up bean netting

[HeyWayne]

Simple, you planted U-cumbers, it's a simple mistake.

[SimplyPotty]

Hahaha! Well I wish I hadn't. S'pose I could always pickle em.

[Headfry]

these could be the new variety for using in bagels! Two slices of U-cumbers to each bagel!!

[Mike and Louise]

Don't throw them away... they may come flying back.

See, now that's a bit like saying I bet the next thing you think about is a black cat...

thanks for sharing them with us,the mind boggles,nature is it's own master regarding weired shapes,but i bet if the tv chefs were to premote the cucumber shapes,they would appear in the shops at extremly high prices,i suppose you could create any shape if you make up a coffin for the fruit ext,if you get what i mean,mm,wonder who will have an experiment with this one,

Blimey, she's not 'duck-shaped'!
I've seen the cube-shaped melons in Selfridges a few years ago, they were really expensive but not seen the shaped cucumbers before, they could catch on over here.
Simplypotty, try growing some more 'u' shaped ones, you could be on to a winner!

Any one know if you can pickle baby cucumbers like gherkins ?
