my two are on the bottom shelf and they are all bending over as they are to tall for it, therefore the leaves are hiding half of the plant thats why I asked if I should trim the leaves

dunno ....will look tomorrow, more on one plant than the other I think, can't see much for all the leaves and have been a bit worried about lifting the hanging down bit incase it snaps off.

there is only one big one but lots of tiny ones just forming...I counted 9 and gave up....on the other plant there only seems to be male flowers
How big do they get before I pick them?

Biggest twin had our first one last week - it was about 4" long. 2 of our plants have left the mini greenhouse and are growing down to the ground ;D

How long and wide is the 'big' one Missy? It depends on the type, but most of them can be picked 4"-6" long when they are nice and sweet

I think they taste tons better than shop bought cucumbers, much more flavour, sweet and juicy. Let us know what you think when you have scoffed it
