Best cucumbers?

Hi.

What are the best cues for a poly tunnel. Long green and plentiful is what I am looking for?

I am growing Telephy in my greenhouse and would highly recomend them. The cuc average size is 16.5 inches and there are loads too, flavour is great.

I'm trying snapper this year, have had loads of little ones so far - I've taken them off to let the plant grow a bit more but had so many of them. They taste really nice and don't have the prickly skin that some others do

:mad: no cucumbers yet, plants struggling.

Try feeding them, I try to get them to about 1 metre tall before letting them grow larger fruits but am really proud of mine this year, fantastic!

Sometimes its where you plant them, and what with. Personally I'm not into growing things in drills so mine are planted in a mix with tommy and aubergine plants with salad leaves at the front, then next to them are runners with hundreds of ladybirds helping me to get rid of the insects !!

I've just done a search on cucumbers and its making me go funny, the word CUCUMBER doesn't look right anymore, I had to question whether I - and about x billion people in the world - were spelling it right!

Anyway, just checking but mine are fine outside (not under polytunnel / greehouse etc) so double checking the variety. Will get back to you on it.
