Hi my cucumbers are doing really well that i grew in my greenhouse, but can some tell me about the side shoots, as i get the main stem where the young cumumbers are growing and its going strait up, but looking at it there is shoots coming of that with young plants on, between the main stem and leaves

hi pond man you will find that the side shoots will turn out to have flowers on and may grow to a cue donot pinch out till you are sure I have just had to tie mine to canes to take them up //or along floor mine I like to climb up you can expect to grow up and along g/h frame about 5x6 foot then I stop mine
thank you for the link it is helpful, i will look at them, i have seen the shoots, thank also about side shoots, as i do have some with flowers on, with cucumbers. Thanks all,
