Congratulations Pam. Have you decided on a name yet. Its a beut :thumb:

Well done Pam I bet you are well chuffed, fingers crossed it will be really tasty for you when it comes to the chop...... nothing nicer than cucumber sandwiches.:thumb:

Bob's killed all ours...well I have to blame someone don't I?:D Hel.xxx.

 

what kind is it ive never seen 1 like that before lol

oh and well done

 

Lets hope it never grows legs......

 

she`s called charlie and she has a girth of 19cm and is 17cm long,she was bought at lidls, and is delikateB :D:D

 

Charley is not what you would call a looker is she Pam, a bit too short and fat. Tee hee, only joking I'm sure you are proud of her, I haven't got any near that size yet.

 

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

 

Hi Pam,
Just joined the forum. Its my first year of growing & I haven't got alot of experience but I found out off my father-in-law that one of my cucumber plans was a marrow plant! & what I thought was a cucumber, looks alot like yours! Are you sure its a cucumber?

 

hi debbie
yes and no ,i don`t have any marrow seeds ,i only grow a few bits and bobs for myself and o.h. .and this is our first year here ,we moved in last november and find most of the back floods ! , i currently have a bush apple slowly drowning, also we are on the first bungalow and get wind on the calmest days ,from every direction.so i can only container grow.i am really trying trial and error to see what i can grow,

the "cucumber" in question can be grown to gherkin sizes,and honestly she is built more like a gherkin ,she doesn`t have the svelte look of her slimmer sisters,

i think as i have visitors wednesday it will be her day ,i will let you know what she tastes like

 

Hi Pam,

Woz just wondering did you sample your cucumber?

 

No event abandoned due to weather,i was looking at her this morning and shes HUGE i suppose she wont improve for leaving. trouble
is i have a whole cue in fridge i bought,why do i buy them as well as growing

 

but I bet the home grown one will taste so much better.
