Went out to inspect the plants in the greenhouse and have found two cucumbers!! I see what the problem is...I didn't label any of of my cucubits so I had my squashes and cucumbers mixed up. oops. This now means that my squashes are producing only male flowers and I have to say they are fairly going for it. :) Ha!! Went out to inspect the plants in the greenhouse and have found two cucumbers!!

That seems to be the issue with my cucumber plants...all male. Just did a quick google search and one suggestion is to pinch off all the male flowers to encourage the ladies to grow and another suggests just waiting as once the males are there the females appear a few weeks later...off to consult one of my many gardening books. hmmm, wonder why?

I got two courgettes and then nothing. Now suddenly I have three more. I see I'm going to have to watch those pesky courgettes closely otherwise I'll have marrows. No sign of any cucumbers though :( Very true. I got two courgettes and then nothing. Now suddenly I have three more.
