First cucumber on the vine! It might be a little crooked, but hopefully it'll be delicious in a couple of weeks ^^

Exciting!! How big do these become?
I think the vine itself can reach somewhere around 2 meters. The cucumbers are on the smaller side. They become ca 15 cm. I read you are supposed to remove the first few flowers to get more cucumbers in the long run. I have two more growing and gonna test it on them to se if there is a different result 🙂
Depends on the variety. Parthenocarpic varieties don’t need to. Otherwise, usually the first flowers are male only, so you can remove them.
Thanks for the info!
