It's a good feeling isn't it! I'm growing cucumbers (Tiffany F1) for the first time this year and noticed my first ones a couple of weeks ago - very exciting to have a "new" crop! Good luck with your harvest!

I can highly reccomed "Burpless Tasty Green" - have had 4 huge ones already, another 6 maturing and countless flowers off of just 4 plants!

I grew my first cucs last year from G.C. bought plants. F1s and a great success they were (even if they did cause me stress as I didn't know what I was doing - as bad as bringing up a child and wondering all the time where you are going wrong!!)
Anyway, this year I grew my own. I have three different kinds in the G/H and today I have cut my first cucumber. It's called Tasty King and it was delicious.
No messing with taking off the male flowers. I have two others called Marketer (which also doesn't require removal of the male) and which have smaller cucs on and one called Telegraph Improved (NOT F1) which is a B & Q jobby. This one does require removal of male flowers. All very confusing.
I can still remember last year's excitement when I saw my very first teeny tiny cucumber. I was so enthused it's rubbed off on my 8 year old grandaughter who now helps me in the veggie patch and is growing her own spuds.
Enjoy it VeggieLover. Remember to cut it off, not pull it.

It's my first time with cucumbers too! I have lots of little ones and one that's about 5 inches - it's growing really quickly! It's so exciting!!
