Quick Cucumber Question
Should I pinch out the growing tips on my cucs? There's a lot of fruit on them now but they're still growing strong (play on words, see that )
Just wondering, if I leave them be I need to make more supports.

Re: Quick Cucumber Question
Yes you can prune your cucumber to suit your space, all it will do is throw out more side shoots.
Which in turn will produce more fruit etc, etc.

Re: Quick Cucumber Question
I grow mine up a support of plastic covered fence wire and tie the shoots in. I never nip anything out and they throw out side shoots with gay abandon! This year they are doing very well but some years they just get so far then die really quickly for no apparent reason or because they've got mildew - although thankfully not before I've got a reasonable amount of fruit. For that reason I have 3 more plants coming along as a back up. I must be mad!- Cucumbers2009.jpg (159.77 KiB) Viewed 897 times
