    I have two Emilie cucumbers which are growing well in greenhouse and have cucumbers forming. I wondered what size they grow too as they seem to be ‘stuck’ about 4 inches. Is that normal size for these?

    Just looking it up I get the impression they should be around 8 ins.
    Have you got lots of them forming, young plants can struggle if that have too many fruits forming at one time.

      Eat them young to encourage more and bigger fruit.

      Thanks I have quite a few growing. Took quite a few off when plants were getting established but just back from hols and quite a few forming. Will remove some of ones. I thought they seemed quite small.
