Another cucumber question

@JWK I certainly will, and thanks again

 

First flower has opened, does this shine any light on what it is

 

I've never grown squashes, so not sure, looks like a male flower.
My next door neighbour used to coat them in batter and deep fry them

 

@pete Your neighbour sounds as very adventurous...so do I need to pull that flower off or wait and see? Sorry for all the questions

 

No just leave it, they only last a day, but you will need one of those open at the same time as a female flower to get fruit to set.

 

Ah thank you @pete that's just answered my next question, just been out to the greenhouse and that was has closed up and another one has started opening Haha

 

They open in the mornings and are usually finished, and closed, by late afternoon or earlier on hot days.

 

@pete thank you so much
