I am growing cucumbers for the first time this year and decided to gro
the telegraph greenhouse variety. Books tell me that I should remov all male flowers from the plants otherwise the fruits will be bitter. Please can someone tell me how I can distinguish between female an male flowers? I believe I am right in saying that telegraph cucumber should be long, straight and smooth skinned, however the fruits tha have developed on my plants are far from that. They have spikes o them and curl like a banana. Will the spikes disappear and smoot out?
Thanks Pau
