I don't usually grow cucumbers but thought I would try some indoors and some outdoors this year. Wink I have five Konsa cucumber plants from seed purchased at Lidl.

I have lost the packet and was wondering do I need to take the male flowers off this variety, or do I just let them get on with it? Huh
Two will be planted in  MFB's in the greenhouse and three planted outdoors.
Hi, no it doesn’t say so on the packet. Fyi, it says that ‘cultivation on black, slit mulching film leads to earlier and increased yield’.
The outdoor ones are being planted in slits in compost covered cardboard. I already have onions growing through this mulch and because of the dampness they are performing much better than the onions planted in soil. If it doesn't mention having to take male flowers off it will probably be ok. I have grown 'ridge' cucumbers before that were just left to their own devices.

Forgot to say thanks Yasai and Veggie. Cool
