If you want to try something different next year can recomend these,they are a cucumber called Melona,they are sweet ,juicy,crunchy with a distinct melon flavour that lingers in the mouth,eaten straight off the vine they are delicious.

Those are seriously strange cucumbers. Look like garter snakes :-D

Couldn't even get mine to survive the slugs before they got in the ground!
