Grew them along the floor last year but thought I'd try em up the string. Those photo's are over a week old, and everything is far more advanced. Especially that cucumber, flowers and fruit all over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had one last year and it went up about a metre then I trained it the full length of the poly tunnel, 2 1/2 metres , had loads of fruit from it. My ordinary cucumbers are late, like just about everything else, but are now showing well ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
