  • Have you saved any seeds from them?  @Pete8

    :) - a very kind offer but I wont take advantage.
    The variety is Cucino F1 - widely available.
    Being an F1 variety means any seed saved, will not be the same as the parent plant, so there's no point in saving seed from an F1 variety unless you want to experiment.
    The seed is relatively expensive, but 4 seeds have the potential to produce about 1000 cucumbers and on that basis it's very cheap.
    I'm now up to 271 cucumbers now from that plant and there are still a few more appearing amongst the now mostly dead foliage

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
