Hi All,
What cucumber are people growing this year?
I am trying space master this season- a small plant that only grows to around 2 ft; will be interesting to see how it holds up! Apparently it's meant to do quite well in a growbag!

Marketmore, as I didn't know if I would have a greenhouse or not, but I do now, which is nice!!
I'm growing Marketmore, I cheated this year and bought four plants from Aldi
Marketmore does seem to be far the most popular
I grew it a couple of years ago but wasnt overly impressed by the taste- I may have left the fruits too long before harvesting. Since then I try to harvest fruits when they reach about 5 inches.
Scroggin- C/Lemon sounds interesting! Any pro/cons/recommendations? I have never grown it- I may see if I can start a few; sure they will catch up!
I grow marketmore too its a good proven outdoor verity that always produces very well for me and goes on producing and the taste of mine far far surpasses the rubbish that supermarkets sell you. Feed em good and they produce quality and quantity they may be small but well worth planting ten or so and I never eat them all I have to give some to family who are always happy to get something free
