  • Hoe did Masterpiece compare with Marketmore, Dave?  Any preference?

    We grow tomatoes and chillis in the greenhouse and added cucumber Crystal Apple to the mix. We had a lot of round yellow skinned fruits which tasted similar to Asian pears, but not as sweet, but they were very nice.

  • I grew Crystal Apple last year along with Marketmore and a grafted one that I can't remember the name of. All were delicious.

    This year I'm going to grow Burpless Tasty Green which is an F1 and Marketer, they can be grown outside as well which is where I grow mine although here at home in large pots rather than the allotment.

     

  • I'm trying early fortune outside this year;

    the website says all their cucumbers can be grown outside, but they are in the south I think

    Also have Marketmore to try

     

  • Thanks everyone!
