Strictly speaking, I haven’t got any cucumbers – what I have instead is a seedling which I hope will grow into a plant, survive the transfer outside and produce cucumbers for me. It is however the first time I have attempted this as I previously lived under the belief that I would need a greenhouse for them.
Spot the cucumber seedling
The variety I have (Burpless Tasty Green F1 Hybrid) can be grown in or outdoors, so I may keep a plant inside. But I have allocated a part of my garden to cucumbers this year. I just need to turn the compost heap again….

Growing out of chaos 
Reblogged this on Linda's wildlife garden and commented:
Lovely post Helen thank you for sharing have a blessed evening
Thank you Linda – enjoyed my evening very much and hope you enjoyed yours 🙂
I’m growing these too, plus a Crystal Apple cucumber which are a lovely round cue, very unusual. I’ve got one plant outside in a raised bed and the others are in the greenhouse – more to stop them being eaten by creatures (!) than anything else though. I’ve got a plastic crate on top of the one in the bed to see if that will save it 🙂
Crystal Apple cucumber sounds interesting… I hope your crate experiment works 🙂
