Time will tell, but there is unlikely to be any fruit.
Re: Spiky cucumbers"spiky" cucumbers tend to be the variety most likely for growing outdoors ... and yes, they are prolific fruit producers. No wonder it is doing exceptionally well in a greenhouse. They have more flavour than those that should be grown under cover, and because they are normally grown outdoors, the skin would probably be better peeled. Enjoy!
Re: Spiky cucumbersi kid you not i have got 10 cucumbers a week until last week when i thought the plant must be dying as leaves gone a light colour but no i can see at least 5 growing. Definetly going to get another one next year...i usually kill flowers and veg i plant but this one is very self sufficient
