    I'll sow some later on too, see if I can keep these going.. I'll see it as a challenge

    thanks for the input/info though

      Cukes

      It's not just you Chris _ I did exactly the same thing.

      I'm going to keep mine in my heated greenhouse until it's safe to go out.

          They'll be massive! And without a heated gh they'll be leggy too.
          I sow mine late April in the cold greenhouse and put them outside in June.

              Not be sowing mine until April - have tried earlier and it's not worked at all for me. Enough other stuff on window ledges without them at the moment anyway!

              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  We planted ours in february last year and they all died so we had to buy a new packet of seeds but they didn't do very well either, think we only had 1 tiny cucumber off 3 plants, they just didn't seem to gow once they were outside. Last year was our 1st year at growing our own fruit and veg though so we expected some failures. This year we have 3 different types of cucumbers (can't remember what they are as hubby ordered them) so hoping for more success as long as we don;t plant them too early. Think they are filed under march or april in our seed box

                    - were they outdoor cukes?
                    - did you harden them off?
                    - could you pop your location into your profile?

                      I think the clue is in the name

                      I would be a perfectionist, but I dont have the time

                        I always start my cucumbers off in april. I use female only types and grow them in a cool greenhouse. Last year they didnt do so well but the year before I was getting about 15 cucumbers per week and in the end had to resort to pickling them so that they didnt go to waste. Needless to say we were eating pickled cucumber till the middle of last year!

                          You know you're right. I didn't even look at the name, just the location area.
