Cucumber curtain in progress
First cucumber on the vine! It might be a little crooked, but hopefully it'll be delicious in a couple of weeks ^^

Exciting!! How big do these become?
I think the vine itself can reach somewhere around 2 meters. The cucumbers are on the smaller side. They become ca 15 cm. I read you are supposed to remove the first few flowers to get more cucumbers in the long run. I have two more growing and gonna test it on them to se if there is a different result 🙂
Depends on the variety. Parthenocarpic varieties don’t need to. Otherwise, usually the first flowers are male only, so you can remove them.
Thanks for the info!
Yay! Always so exciting!
That's great !
