what variety of cucumber is it that you are growing that has only female
flowers.


Hi Paul,
Im growing cucumbers for the first time ever this year, it's an all female
variety called petita, the fruit only reach 8-9" but are very sweet and
moist, they seem very happy in the same house as tomatoes although the tom's
are near the front and the cucumbers are at the back. Only problem we've had
is earwigs crawling into the unopened flowers and have damaged one or two
fruitlets, but as we have about sixty between the two triphods, sorry
cucumbers, it's little price to pay.
