Cucumber ?

[diamond lil]

How easy or hard is it to grow cucumber ? Am I too cold here ?

[scoobie]

I've grown them in a greenhouse when I was younger, and we got a good crop from it...You might be able to do the same up your way...

Realseeds do a couple of heirloom varieties, but none are your usual supermarket cucumbers!

No greenhouse Maybe a hot windowsill ?

[scoobie]

From what I can remember, the plants grew to be about 5 foot tall!

You might be able to get windowsill variety, no idea

Scoobie - cucumbers I want, not triffids !

If you have a south facing wall, you could grow it in a container. Cover with plastic, rigidity provided with old pvc pipes. Impromptu greenhouse that is effective. Remove cover when warm, cover up for the colder nights of blowing gales.
It grows tall so support something at the wall and it could well work.

We've managed 2 years of growing with a fantastic crop BUT in a greenhouse and it almost takes over.......... so probably not in your house

Godsake I had no idea they were so big, thanks anyway - I will just leave it. Plan B is leeks

We grow a lot of zucchini. It grows well and is wonderful both fresh and pickled.
Grows in containers as well.
It creeps and you can lead it up easily.

I don't know what that is - will go and google I know the Americans grow it.
