Hi, my cucumber plant has dozens of male flowers but only 2 female ones
- so it doesnt look like its going to fruit much! Any ideas how to get
more female flowers?
Remove, and keep removing, the male flowers. Next year, go to your garden
centre and buy a plant with only female flowers.
I'm reasonably sure that I read on one of the gardening newsgroups that
if you pinch the growing tips off their main stems curcubits will start
producing female flowers. I haven't tried this, but if the cucumber vines
have reached a good spread, this could be tried.
