hello all
This year, I'm growing cucumbers in my greenhouse which are doing well, But I have been told I need to nip out the sideshoots!? So, how do I tell the difference between these sideshoots and the budding flower shoots, which produce the cucumbers? Advice please would be much appreciated.

On the the main vine, the side shoots will appear between a leaf and main vine next to a tendril and will have no flowers on it.
Wait until it grows to a recognisable length if you are unsure before nipping them off.
Many thanks for your helpful and clear advice.
