Hi
New to group so sorry if this is a regular question
First year with greenhouse
I have a very active cucumber plant in my greenhouse but the cucumbers are
bitter for more than half of their length
I am growing it in a large pot of multipurpose compost with John Innes and
watering regularly
I have regularly removed the male flowers

My husband used to crow cukes commercially, so I asked him about this. He
says it's usually lack of water or irregular watering that makes them
bitter. So whatever you've been giving them, they obviously need more!
