      Mine began fruition then just dropped them off like they were not sexied.
      Hoping it forms a tuber so I can save it to try again.

        I had a tonne of them but left the greenhouse door open so that's probably the issue

        Anyone found a use for these yet.
        They taste like sour cucumber.
        The plants act like weeds, look like weeds, and probably are weeds.

                We got hundreds of them, and Mrs C used them in salads for her lunches - not my thing, but then I don't eat cucumbers, but Mrs C likes them

                I fed mine tomato food, if that makes any difference

                  Yep I assume it does make a difference.
