I`m finished with cumcumbers

All the above postings gave me a good laugh! My cucumbers must be the ridge type too as they're just the right size for two or three people in a salad. What my hubbie discovered last week whilst having a mooch under the leaves was that cucumbers are PRICKLY!!!! Now he won't go near them! So why are cucumbers prickly ... they're not prickly in the shops!?! Is it a skilled job to perhaps 'rub off' the prickles before selling them on??

 

Well, you learn something new every day .... thanks John, I didn't know that. Mind you I've no idea whatsoever as to the variety we're growing - bought them in a french supermarket ... six plants for 3,50euros ... and they're growing in the greenhouse at a rapid rate.

 

These guys are in my front room window, I'm not brave enough to grow them outside.

 

You are all miles in front of me-mine are tiny-I must have done something wrong, they are nowhere near fruiting yet.

 

That was useful Bob. Thanks.:D:lollol:

 

No offence intented, mate
