    These ones are quite big.  I took off a bottom one to try and seems okay.  Do you think if I remove these ones at the bottom the others will  grow better?

    Yes, and if you leave them on too long the seeds will start forming and that may stop the plant procucing more fruit, so best take them off when they are ready and store them in the fridge (or give any excess away) rather than leaving them on the vine. ;)  
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you for the information.  Now removed as recommended. Suppose I was thinking they would go quite green so this forum is invaluable for us novices.

    After my excitement about my cucumbers yesterday, today when inspecting them I have noticed that a lot of the tiny cucumbers forming have turned yellow and withering.  As mentioned the variety is Delistar which I understand is an all female variety so self pollinating.  Can anyone tell me what may be happening?
