Konsa Cucumber

I have grown them outdoors but only in a vertical mode. They've been shoved in any old place outside a fruit cage growing up the net with a bit of help. I've got some konsa going outside shortly, like you. I'm rapidly running out of room so its anyone's guess where they'll be put. We will have to compare notes. I've grown them for several years in the gh they start off fine but later on they get misshapen and grow like a tromba shape, and go bitter, I have a feeling it was a pollination issue but could never figure out which way.
