I bought a west Indian cucumber plant at an allotment sale. They are more like a gherkin arnt they? Does anyone have any advice on how big I should let them get before picking them and what to do with them when they're ready? I'd love to try pickling some, but doubt there's enough for a jar.

Don't you start Mick, I had a enough of Sleepy on the banana thread!! ;D Ignore them Keith - it's just long lasting juvenile knob obsession....... ;D I've never heard of them though Emsey.......I expect if you hold them gently, give a little tug and they fall off onto your hands, then they're ripe.....(don't try this at home chaps...) :  |
