err, not quite. the "first" one got nipped off by yours truly before i thought of asking what it was...

but it's good to know that things are growing!

now what about nipping off side-shoots - should i be doing that?

thanks guys,

Nick

I don't bother unless they get too unruly. I suppose space would dictate whether you do or not?

**marmalade** · 29-04-2009, 02:50 PM

same as shirlthegirl43 re side shoots

leave them alone unless it becomes a problem

shame about the first cucumber but hey we all do things like that from time to time
