 cucumbers with no male flowers... Posted 25 Jan 12 4:42 PM
Hi, in have a question and any help would be great. I have two lebanese cucumbers growing and now doing quite well in terms of greenery, they have been having heaps of female flowers with their baby cucumbers for about 2 weeks - but they shrivel and die because they have no male flowers. I have been hand pollinating my zucchini next to them as we don't have many bees, with good success, what would happen if I tried the zucchini with the cucumber? thanks for any help!

It has been a funny season for all curcubits actually, my Courgettes have only just started to produce, and i had sown the seeds way back in September! Last year we had a glut of Courgettes almost on a daily basis....
If you tried crossing Courgette with Cucumber, you wouldnt get anything, but disapointment.
