Cucumber help please
Hi everyone, looking to pick your brains please! We bought a couple of small cucumber plants from the local garden centre last weekend and planted them in our new raised beds. But we have a problem: the label on the pot just says "Cucumber - Mini" and having googled the name I can't find any mention of a variety just called "Mini". So I don't know whether I should eventually pinch off any male flowers
I'm trying to get hold of someone at the garden centre who might be able to tell me what variety they are (so far no luck though). If I don't manage to find out what they are, what is my best course of action? Pinch any male flowers off or leave them on?
By next year we'll have a greenhouse and will be starting things from seed so shouldn't have this problem

Just leave them on. Outdoor varieties need both male and female to produce.
Thanks - will do that then
